Josi

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Reserved! Josi is a very friendly and affectionate female dog who enjoys accompanying her humans. She can be a bit unsure around strangers at first and needs some time to build trust. If given this time, she develops into a loyal and clingy companion. Josi gets along with other dogs on a friendly basis. She can adapt to living in either an apartment or a house. Children should be at least 10 years old and have understanding for her initial reticence. We wish for Josi to find people who can provide her with security and allow her to come into her own at her own pace with patience, loving guidance, and some time. This animal is not yet neutered/spayed.

Reserviert! Josi ist eine sehr freundliche und liebenswerte Hündin, die ihre Menschen gerne begleitet. Fremden gegenüber zeigt sie sich anfangs noch etwas unsicher und braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Gibt man ihr diese Zeit, entwickelt sie sich zu einer treuen und anhänglichen Begleiterin.Mit anderen Hunden ist Josi nach Sympathie verträglich. Sowohl ein Zuhause in einer Wohnung als auch in einem Haus kann sie sich gut vorstellen. Kinder sollten mindestens 10 Jahre alt sein und Verständnis für ihre anfängliche Zurückhaltung mitbringen.Für Josi wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit vermitteln und sie ohne Druck in ihrem Tempo ankommen lassen. Mit Geduld, liebevoller Führung und etwas Zeit wird sie sich zu einer wunderbaren Familienhündin entwickeln. Sie ist 2020 geboren und nicht kastriert

About Josi

What life with Josi looks like

Josi is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Tierschutzverein Freital in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Josi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Josi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Tierschutzverein Freital handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Josi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Josi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Tierschutzverein Freital will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Josi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Josi isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Tierschutzverein Freital early rather than rehoming privately; they know Josi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
