Sally

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Sometimes it just takes a little time for strangers to become friends. The two-year-old Sally is looking for a new home because her previous owners unfortunately didn't have enough time for her. With strangers, Sally is initially uncertain and needs some patience to gain trust. Once she has her people in her heart, she shows her great side and enjoys the closeness to familiar people. Sally is a friendly dog who gets along well with both large and small fellow dogs. According to her previous owners, cats are no problem either. Sally loves being outdoors! She loves walks where she can use her nose and go on small sniffing games to explore. Nasal work is a great way for her to explore her environment and have fun with her people. What Sally wants: - People with dog experience who give her security and orientation. - Enough time for joint activities and a trusting relationship. - Patience and understanding so she can arrive at her own pace. - Beautiful walks, exciting sniffing games and lots of shared experiences. Whoever gives Sally the time she needs gets the chance to win a great and loyal companion by her side. She doesn't have to love every person right away. She needs people who show her that she can rely on them. That would be important:

About Sally

What life with Sally looks like

Sally is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Franziskus Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

A young 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. 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. Franziskus Tierheim Hamburg 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 — 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. 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 Franziskus Tierheim Hamburg 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.
