Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 11 months

July 2026 Yogurt always works!! June 2026 Update: 20.6.26 Joy is a brave and curious girl. She knows no fear (like her sister Jenny). She gets along with everyone and everything. Claudia said: Buona con tutti. Males, females, young or old. She loves to play and romp around. A first-time dog - please not too old, that would be a dream for this wonderful girl. Her property should be well and securely fenced, because Joy is a curious little miss. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discover the world with Joy. Update 14.5.26: Joy came to Hope with her brother (Jazz) and her sister (Josy). Her sister Jenny (Link) is already in Germany in a foster home. Previously, all of them were together in a canile. Our Claudia reports that Joy is a really cool customer: calm and curious, very people-oriented. Very restful and balanced in herself. This may still change over the coming weeks and her development. Please review the for our livestock guardian dogs and their mixes before getting in touch. Lucky ones Josy, Jazz and Joy (05/26) After the enchanting Jenny was able to leave a Sardinian canile (animal shelter), we were also able to rescue her three siblings and bring them to Hope. Fortunately, they are still people-oriented and show no visible harm. What we do clearly sense, however: they went hungry at times. They still have this compulsion to throw themselves at food. ☹ We are working on it: there is quark, yogurt, egg, plus extra vitamins and good food, sometimes wet food, chew items, and now and then a carrot or a piece of apple. Claudia takes plenty of time: cuddles, strokes, and sometimes even looks into their mouths, touches them a lot - so that these more intense physical contacts no longer seem suspicious in the future. They definitely did not know this kind of closeness until now. We are glad that they are now being well prepared for their lives and hopefully can travel to their families soon. Please observe the requirements for livestock guardian dogs and LGD mixes: fence height and, for puppies, initially seamless supervision. Video: September 2026 Video: May 2026

November 2026 Juli 2026 Joghurt geht immer!! Juni 2026 Update: 20.6.26 Joy ist ein mutiges und neugieriges Mädchen. Angst kennt sie nicht (wie auch ihre Schwester Jenny). Sie ist verträglich mit allem und jedem. Claudia sagte: Buona con tutti . Rüden, Hündinnen, jung oder alt. Sie spielt und tobt gerne. Ein Ersthund - bitte nicht zuuuuu alt, wäre traumhaft für das tolle Mädchen. Ihr Grundstück sollte gut und sicher eingezäunt sein, denn Joy ist ein Frl. Neugierig. Melden Sie sich gerne, wenn sie mit Joy die Welt entdecken möchten. Update 14.5.26: Joy kam mit ihrem Bruder (Jazz ) und ihrer Schwester (Josy )nach Hope. Ihre Schwester Jenny ( Link) ist bereits in D auf einer Pflegestelle. Vorher waren alle gemeinsam in einem canile . Unsere Claudia berichtet dass Joy eine ganz coole Socke ist : unaufgeregt und neugierig, sehr menschenbezogen. In sich ausgesprochen ruhend und ausgeglichen. Das kann sich noch mal ändern im Laufe der Wochen und Entwicklung. Bitte schauen Sie sich die Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen für unsere Herdenschutzhunde und deren Mixe an, bevor Sie sich melden. Glückspilze Josy, Jazz und Joy (05/26) Nachdem die zauberhafte Jenny ein sardisches canile (Tierheim) verlassen konnte, haben wir auch ihre drei Geschwister in Sicherheit bringen können und nach Hope geholt. Sie sind zum Glück noch menschenbezogen und haben keinen sichtlichen Schaden erlitten. Was wir jedoch deutlich spüren: sie haben zeitweise gehungert. Sie haben noch diesen Zwang sich aufs Futter zu stürzen, ☹ Wir arbeiten daran: es gibt Quark, Joghurt, Ei, zusätzlich Vitamine und gutes Futter, auch mal Nassfutter, Kauartikel, mal eine Möhre oder ein Stück Apfel. Claudia nimmt sich viel Zeit: kuschelt, streichelt und schaut auch mal ins Maul, berührt viel -damit diese intensiveren Körperkontakte künftig nicht mehr suspekt sind. Diese Nähe kannten sie bis dato definitiv nicht. Wir freuen uns, dass sie nun gut auf ihr Leben vorbereitet werden und hoffentlich zeitnah zu ihren Familien reisen können. Bitte beachten Sie die Anforderungen für Herdenschutzhunde und HSH Mixe: Zaunhöhe und für Welpen zunächst die nahtlose Betreuung. Video: September 2026 Video: Mai 2026

About Joy

What life with Joy looks like

Joy is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at saving dogs e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Joy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. saving dogs e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — saving dogs e.V. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Joy 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 Joy 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 saving dogs e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joy 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.
