Adopt Sally

Mixed Breed · Female

Sally – a quiet beginning of something beautiful → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female → Born on: 08/2016 → Size: approx. 40cm, approx. 16kg → Spayed: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: microchip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: unknown Description: Sally has been living in her foster home in 86415 Mering for some time now. There, she feels safe in her familiar environment and moves around the house freely. She gets along well with her four-legged housemates—they provide her with orientation and support. Sally is a very shy female dog who needs time to build trust. She only allows closeness and touch at her own pace, and this should be respected. She has already cautiously built trust with her primary caregiver. She happily accepts food and treats, watches attentively, and shows quiet curiosity. There are even moments when she plays joyfully in the yard with her dog friends, hopping around and appearing completely relaxed. These moments show how much joy in life she has inside—although she often retreats afterward to feel safe again. It is not necessary for Sally to leave the property. A quiet, rural home with a well-secured garden or yard where she can move freely, unwind, and relax is important. There, she feels protected and can gradually develop more trust.

Sally – ein leiser Anfang von etwas Schönem → Rasse: Mischling→ Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren am: 08/2016 → Grösse: ca. 40cm, ca. 16kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.Beschreibung: Sally lebt seit einiger Zeit auf ihrer Pflegestelle in 86415 Mering. Dort fühlt sie sich in ihrem vertrauten Umfeld sicher und bewegt sich im Haus frei. Mit ihren vierbeinigen Mitbewohnern kommt sie gut zurecht – sie geben ihr Orientierung und Halt. Sally ist eine sehr schüchterne Hündin, die Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Nähe und Berührungen lässt sie nur in ihrem eigenen Tempo zu, und genau das sollte respektiert werden. Zu ihrer Bezugsperson hat Sally bereits vorsichtig Vertrauen aufgebaut. Sie nimmt Futter und Leckerchen gern an, beobachtet aufmerksam und zeigt leise Neugier. Es gibt sogar Momente, in denen sie im Hof mit ihren Hundekumpels fröhlich spielt, herumhüpft und ganz entspannt wirkt. Diese Augenblicke zeigen, wie viel Lebensfreude in ihr steckt – auch wenn sie sich danach oft wieder zurückzieht, um sich sicher zu fühlen. Für Sally ist es nicht nötig, das Grundstück zu verlassen. Wichtig ist ein ruhiges, ländliches Zuhause mit einem gut gesicherten Garten oder Hof, in dem sie sich frei bewegen, lösen und zur Ruhe kommen kann. Dort fühlt sie sich geschützt und kann Schritt für Schritt mehr Vertrauen entwickeln. Andere Hunde im Haushalt wären für sie eine große Hilfe, weil sie sich stark an ihnen orien

About Sally

What life with Sally looks like

Sally is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sally, answered.

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