Joy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Hündin – ca. 2,5 Jahre alt (Stand: März 2026) – ca. 40 cm – kastriert Herkunft Bei unserem letzten Besuch in Bulgarien ist uns Joy direkt aufgefallen. Mit ihrer positiven Art wickelte sie uns gleich um den Finger. Nun suchen wir ein Zuhause für sie. Wesen Joy ist eine fröhliche, sehr quirlige und aufgeschlossene Hündin. In ihrem Zwinger lebt sie mit weiteren Hunden zusammen und zeigt sich dort durchweg verträglich. Wir können uns Joy wunderbar in einer Familie vorstellen, die Spaß an Bewegung, gemeinsamen Abenteuern und viel Freude im Alltag hat. Natürlich muss Joy noch einiges lernen – Dinge wie Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit und das kleine Hunde-ABC kennt sie bisher noch nicht. Mit Geduld, liebevoller Konsequenz und Zeit wird sie das aber ganz sicher meistern. *Wir weisen ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass sich Verhaltensweisen in einem neuen Umfeld nach einiger Zeit ändern können. Dies sollte bei jeder Adoption berücksichtigt werden! Du interessierst dich für Joy? Dann fülle gleich unsere Selbstauskunft aus. Selbstauskunft Adoption Selbstauskunft Pflegestelle

About Joy

What life with Joy looks like

Joy is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Kleine & große Pfoten e.V. in Germany (national, Bulgaria rescue focus).

An young 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.

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. Kleine & große Pfoten 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 — Kleine & große Pfoten 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Kleine & große Pfoten 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
