Sally

Female · Young · 1 year

I am Sally a sweet but very anxious little dog who still has much to learn about the world. This is me: I originally came from Bulgaria and was seized in Berlin with my puppy. Much seems completely new to me: Unfamiliar people, noises and situations make me very scared. If I feel cornered, I can snap or bite out of frustration. Even familiar people don't let me get close yet. But once I have gained trust, I show my cuddly and affectionate side. It will probably be a long way until I can really relax - I will probably always remain skeptical and uncertain. I am not house trained yet and probably cannot stay alone. A confident first dog would be possible in principle, but so far I don't show much interest in other dogs. What I wish for is... a very quiet home outside the city with patient, experienced people. Experience with anxious dogs would of course be ideal. Children should not live in the household. My new humans must be willing to let me arrive at my own pace and slowly get used to them over several introductory appointments. If you can give me the time and security I need, I look forward to your inquiry via our contact form below.

Ich bin Sally eine liebe, aber sehr ängstliche Hündin, die noch viel über die Welt lernen muss. Das bin ich: Ursprünglich kam ich aus Bulgarien und wurde in Berlin gemeinsam mit meinem Welpen sichergestellt. Vieles scheint für mich völlig neu zu sein: Unbekannte Menschen, Geräusche und Situationen machen mir große Angst. Wenn ich mich bedrängt fühle, kann ich auch mal aus Ratlosigkeit schnappen oder beißen. Auch von vertrauten Menschen lasse ich mich noch nicht einfach anziehen. Habe ich aber erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, zeige ich meine schmusige und anhängliche Seite. Aber es wird wohl ein langer Weg werden, bis ich mich richtig entspannen kann – skeptisch und unsicher werde ich vermutlich immer bleiben. Ich bin noch nicht stubenrein und kann vermutlich auch noch nicht allein bleiben. Ein souveräner Ersthund wäre grundsätzlich möglich, besonders großes Interesse an anderen Hunden zeige ich bisher aber nicht. Ich wünsche mir … ein sehr ruhiges Zuhause außerhalb der Stadt bei geduldigen, hundeerfahrenen Menschen. Erfahrung mit Angsthunden wäre natürlich ideal. Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Meine neuen Menschen müssen bereit sein, mich in meinem Tempo ankommen zu lassen und mich über mehrere Kennenlerntermine langsam an sich zu gewöhnen. Wenn du mir die Zeit und Sicherheit geben möchtest, die ich brauche, freue ich mich auf deine Anfrage über unser Anfrageformular unten.

About Sally

What life with Sally looks like

Sally is a small young adult dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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 Sally, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sally?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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.
