Yoshi

Male · Adult · 5 years

Hello folks, I am Yoshi, a loving but somewhat shy Shiba-Inu mix. Due to changes in my family's circumstances, I was reluctantly given up here at our shelter, and I wish to be allowed to move out as soon as possible. I am generally friendly towards people, but I start off a bit unsure and do not let myself be stroked by just anyone. Then I retreat a bit and need some time and space. Due to this insecurity, I seek people who can give me security and who consistently accompany me through daily life with reliability and consistency. I walk well on a leash, know the important signals, and carry them out reliably if you are consistent with me. If you let me get my way too much, which I like, I immediately take advantage of it and no longer listen to you. Towards other dogs, unfortunately, I am not always as friendly as I am with people. Other male dogs, in particular, do not need to be in my vicinity. Female dogs are fine with me, it just depends on whether the lady also gives me my space. If you, however, can guide me well in such encounters, I can manage that too. I am looking for a home where there is not too much chaos, because I need peace and the possibility to retreat to feel comfortable and to build trust. Does all of this sound great to you? Then I am looking forward to getting to know you. My caretakers and trainers are happy to tell you more about me.

Hallo Leute, ich bin Yoshi, ein lieber, aber etwas schüchterner Shiba-Inu-Mix. Da sich die Lebensumstände meiner Familie verändert haben, wurde ich schweren Herzens hier im Tierheim abgegeben und wünsche mir, möglichst bald wieder ausziehen zu dürfen. Menschen gegenüber bin ich grundsätzlich freundlich, aber anfangs etwas unsicher und lasse mich nicht gleich von jedem streicheln. Dann ziehe ich mich zurück und brauche etwas Zeit und Freiraum. Aufgrund dieser Unsicherheit suche ich Menschen, die mir Sicherheit geben können und mich zuverlässig und konsequent durch den Alltag begleiten. Ich laufe gut an der Leine, kenne die wichtigsten Signale und führe sie auch zuverlässig aus, wenn du konsequent mit mir bist. Lässt du mich zu sehr machen, was mir gefällt, nutze ich das sofort aus und höre dir nicht mehr zu. Anderen Hunden gegenüber bin ich leider nicht immer so freundlich wie bei Menschen. Vor allem andere Rüden brauche ich nicht in meiner Umgebung. Mit Hündinnen geht es gut bei mir, da kommts dann nur drauf an, dass mir die Dame auch mal meinen Freiraum lässt. Wenn du mich aber in solchen Begegnungen gut anleitest, schaffe ich auch das. Ich suche ein Zuhause, in dem nicht zu viel Trubel herrscht, weil ich Ruhe und Rückzugsmöglichkeiten brauche, um mich wohlzufühlen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Das klingt alles super für dich? Dann freue ich mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen. Meine Pfleger und Trainer erzählen dir gerne noch mehr über mich. Euer Yoshi

About Yoshi

What life with Yoshi looks like

Yoshi is a adult dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Yoshi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Yoshi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Yoshi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Yoshi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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 Yoshi 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 Yoshi 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 u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Yoshi 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.
