Sabina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

The medium-sized female dog has probably had little opportunity to experience the world in the past, which is why life in a household is still new to her and Sabina must learn the basics of living together from scratch. In contact with people, she is friendly, but still approaches new situations and people with a certain caution. With conspecifics, she is generally compatible, but of course, sympathy also plays a role. She is at the beginning of her development and has already learned to walk on a leash with us. Sabina is looking for people who can give her a new life with empathy and the necessary time. Children should already be older.

Die mittelgroße Hündin hat in ihrer Vergangenheit vermutlich kaum etwas von der Welt kennenlernen können, weshalb das Leben in einem Haushalt für sie noch Neuland ist und die Grundlagen des Zusammenlebens muss Sabina von Grund auf lernen.Im Kontakt mit Menschen ist sie freundlich, begegnet neue Situationen und Personen aber noch mit einer gewissen Vorsicht. Mit Artgenossen ist sie grundsätzlich verträglich, hier entscheidet aber natürlich auch die Sympathie. Sie steht am Anfang ihrer Entwicklung und hat bei uns schon das Gehen an der Leine gelernt.Sabina sucht Menschen die ihr mit Einfühlungsvermögen und der nötigen Zeit ein neues Leben schenken. Kinder sollten schon älter sein.

About Sabina

What life with Sabina looks like

Sabina is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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 Sabina, answered.

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