How do I contact the shelter about Oliver?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Oliver on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Oliver if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Oliver 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 Oliver 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Oliver 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.

Oliver

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Oliver is a male Samoyed born around 2018, approximately 55-56 cm tall and weighing 26 kg. Oliver is a beautiful Samoyed who has had to start anew after the death of his beloved owner. He currently lives with the nephew of our animal welfare advocate Snezhana but cannot stay there permanently. We are eager for Oliver to find a home where he can feel safe and loved again. Oliver has enjoyed a good life filled with love, companionship, and city living. This is evident in how well he walks on a leash, responds reliably to his name, and greets people with gentle patience. He is an ideal family dog due to his calm nature, affectionate personality, and ability to get along with both children and other dogs. Cats have never been a problem for him either. Oliver particularly enjoys spending time with "his" humans and going on walks together. We are looking for a home that suits Oliver: ideally a house with a garden or an apartment with a garden area - somewhere he can enjoy city life as well as quiet moments to himself. Those who take Oliver in will not only get a beautiful dog but also a loyal companion with a big heart, eager to be part of the family again. Oliver is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and tested for Snap-4-D. He is currently in foster care in Bulgaria. The adoption fee for Oliver is 480 euros. If you would like to give Oliver a home, please contact us using our contact form below. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix.com

♂, geb. ca. 2018kinderlieb - freundlich - sozialin Bulgarien Oliver ist ein ca. 2018 geborener Samojedenrüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 55-56 cm. und einem Gewicht von 26 kg. Oliver ist ein wunderschöner Samojedenrüde, der nach dem Tod seines geliebten Besitzers nun noch einmal ganz neu anfangen muss. Aktuell lebt er auf einer Pflegestelle beim Neffen unserer Tierschützerin Snezhana – doch dort kann er leider nicht dauerhaft bleiben. Umso mehr wünschen wir uns für Oliver schnell ein Zuhause, in dem er wieder ankommen darf und sich sicher fühlen kann. Oliver hatte bisher ein sehr gutes Leben, geprägt von Nähe, Liebe und Alltag mitten im Stadtleben. Genau das merkt man ihm an: Er läuft brav an der Leine, reagiert zuverlässig auf seinen Namen und begegnet Menschen mit einer sanften, geduldigen Freundlichkeit. Oliver ist ein echter Traumhund – ausgeglichen, liebenswert und mit seinem ruhigen Wesen auch wunderbar als Familienhund geeignet. Kinder mag er sehr, und auch mit anderen Hunden ist er sozial und unkompliziert. Katzen waren in seinem bisherigen Leben ebenfalls nie ein Problem. Besonders glücklich ist Oliver, wenn er Zeit mit „seinen“ Menschen verbringen darf und gemeinsam spazieren geht. Für Oliver wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, das zu ihm passt: ideal wäre ein Haus mit Garten oder eine Wohnung mit Gartenanteil – ein Ort, an dem er sowohl das Stadtleben als auch ruhige Rückzugszeiten genießen kann. Wer Oliver aufnimmt, bekommt nicht nur einen wunderschönen Hund, sondern einen treuen Begleiter mit großem Herzen, der einfach nur wieder dazugehören möchte. Oliver wird geimpft, kastriert, gechipt und mit einem Snap-4-D-Test vermittelt. Er befindet sich in einer Pflegestelle in Bulgarien. Die Schutzgebühr für Oliver beträgt 480 Euro.

About Oliver

What life with Oliver looks like

Oliver is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
