Sally

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Sally, born circa 2020, spayed, approximately 50-55 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since 2022. Sally was caught in a village with her puppies. Her puppies are still panicked when they see people. Sally is a very cautious and wounded little soul. If you approach her gently and with sensitivity, she will let you touch her. She is a very delicate and fragile female dog who needs someone to show her that people can also be great. Unfortunately, the shelter is not the right place for her. We wish for her a home with empathetic and experienced people who can show her what a good dog life is like in peace and without time pressure or expectations. It should be okay if she never wants to go for a walk or cuddle like a normal dog. Maybe she will be good for one or more positive surprises. At least a confident first dog, as well as a securely fenced garden with direct access to the house are basic requirements. Since Sally has only poor placement chances, we would be very happy if someone would take a sponsorship for her. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival in the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

2023 Patin: Heike O. Sally, geboren ca. 2020, kastriert, ca. 50-55 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 2022 Sally wurde zusammen mit ihren Welpen in einem Dorf eingefangen. Ihre Welpen sind bis heute alle panisch wenn sie Menschen sehen. Sally ist eine ganz vorsichtige und geschundene kleine Seele. Nähert man sich ihr vorsichtig und voller Feingefühl, dann lässt sie sich anfassen. Sie ist eine sehr filigrane und zarte Hündin die jemanden braucht der ihr zeigt, dass Menschen auch toll sein können. Leider ist das Shelter dafür nicht der richtige Ort. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause bei einfühlsamen und erfahrenen Menschen, die ihr in Ruhe und ohne Zeitdruck oder Erwartungshaltung zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Es sollte okay sein, wenn sie nie wie ein normaler Hund Gassi gehen oder kuscheln will. Vielleicht ist sie dann für die eine oder andere positive Überraschung gut. Mindestens ein souveräner Ersthund, sowie ein sicher eingezäunter Garten mit direktem Zugang zum Haus sind Grundvoraussetzungen. Da Sally nur schlechte Vermittlungschancen hat, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn jemand eine Patenschaft für sie übernimmt. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Sally

What life with Sally looks like

Sally is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Hope for Future 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 — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Hope for Future 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.
