How do I contact the shelter about Josie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Collies suchen ein Zuhause handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Josie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Josie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Collies suchen ein Zuhause 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 Josie 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 Josie 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 Collies suchen ein Zuhause early rather than rehoming privately; they know Josie 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.

Josie

Collie · Female · Adult · 8 years

Josie, Collie dog, 8 years old, neutered! My name is Josie and I would like to try to find a new home here. I have been told that many have already had great luck in the 25 years since Heidi Jostschulte founded this homepage. And so I also hope to find a family here. I am a very loving Collie. I go on the leash as is fitting and after an adjustment period also without the leash. I am compatible with all dogs and I know cats. Also, riding in the car is no problem for me. Children in the family should be in reasonable school age and used to dogs! We are looking for a family with a house and an enclosed garden in a rural setting, as I am accustomed to. Also, you should be at home and not working all day. I can be alone for a few hours, but not regularly! I would like to come as a single dog to you. I live in Thuringia, west of Ilmenau, so you will have to come and visit me there! If you would like to know more about me, then mail to Heidi Jostschulte! Please understand that only serious inquiries with full name, telephone number, and address can be answered. The more information you provide beforehand, the better we can determine if Josie is suitable for you. On short emails...where is the Collie, already had Collies ourselves, the last one died...will not be answered. Your email with a detailed description to Heidi Jostschulte hjostschulte(at)

Josie, Colliehündin, 8 Jahre, kastriert! Mein Name ich Josie und ich möchte versuchen hier ein neues Zuhause zu finden. Man hat mir gesagt, dass hier schon so viele grosses Glück hatten in den 25 Jahren, seit dem Heidi Jostschulte diese Homepage gegründet hat. Und so hoffe ich auch hier eine Familie zu finden. Ich bin eine sehr liebe Colliehündin. Ich gehe an der Leine, wie es sich gehört und nach einer Eingewöhnung auch ohne Leine. Ich bin verträglich mit allen Hunden und ich kenne Katzen. Auch im Auto mitfahren ist kein Problem für mich. Kinder in der Familie sollten im vernünftigen Schulalter sein und Hunde gewohnt! Wir suchen für mich eine Familie mit einem Haus und eingezäuntem Garten ländlich gelegen, so wie es gewohnt bin. Auch solltet ihr Zuhause sein und nicht den ganzen Tag arbeiten. Ein paar Stunden kann ich mal alleine bleiben, aber nicht regelmässig! Ich möchte als Einzelhund zu euch kommen. Ich lebe in Thüringen, westlich von Ilmenau, dort müsst ihr mich besuchen! Wenn ihr mehr über mich wissen möchtet, dann mailt an Heidi Jostschulte! Haben Sie bitte Verständnis, dass nur ernst gemeinte Anfragen mit vollem Namen, Telefonnummer und Anschrift beantwortet werden können. Je mehr Informationen Sie vorab geben, desto besser können wir erkennen, ob Josie für Sie geeignet ist. Auf kurze Mails....wo ist der Collie, hatten schon selber Collies, der letzte ist gestorben....wird nicht geantwortet. Ihre Mail mit einer ausführliche Beschreibung an Heidi Jostschulte hjostschulte(ät)webdotde ät steht für @ dot steht für den Punkt Zurück

About Josie

What life with Josie looks like

Josie is a adult collie dog waiting at Collies suchen ein Zuhause in Oldenburg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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.
