How do I contact the shelter about Safir?

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

Can I adopt Safir if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Step by Paw 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 Safir 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 Safir 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 Step by Paw e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Safir 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.

Safir

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Puppy · 8 months

Safir is in a Spanish foster home, his sister Iluna is traveling to her home in Germany next, Safir should not be left alone in Spain! The siblings, who are already in their respective homes, had a tough start in life (we know nothing about their mother), but now they are moving towards a better life, and we would like to help by finding responsible and loving families for them. Puppies are a real challenge and can be demanding; it’s starting from scratch, and they need to learn everything about life in Germany. We are looking for adopters with plenty of time, preferably with only dogs (the same size), in a quiet home without small children and without cats.

Safir befindet sich in einer spanischen Pflegestelle, seine Schwester Iluna reist demnächst in ihr Zuhause in Deutschland, Safir soll nicht alleine in Spanien zurückbleiben! Die übrigens Geschwister sind bereits in ihr jeweiliges Zuhause eingezogen. Die Kleinen, gestrandet in einer südspanischen Perrera, hatten allesamt keinen guten Start ins Leben (von ihrer Mutter wissen wir nichts), deshalb streben sie jetzt auf die Sonnenseite des Lebens, wobei wir ihnen gerne helfen möchten, indem wir verantwortungsvolle und liebevolle Familien suchen und finden werden. Welpen sind eine echte Aufgabe und können eine Herausforderung sein, man fängt von vorne an, sie müssen alles für das Leben hier in Deutschland noch lernen. Wir wünschen uns Adoptanten mit viel Zeit, bevorzugt mit Ersthund (die selbe Größe), ein ruhiger Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder und ohne Katzen. Möchten Sie Safir ein fürsorgliches Zuhause geben, dann schicken Sie gerne Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an Safir ist ca. 23cm groß und wiegt ca. 2,1kg. Die Schutzgebühr beträgt 450€.

About Safir

What life with Safir looks like

Safir is a puppy/kitten yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Step by Paw 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
