Sam-10

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Sam is looking for a new home. Sam was born in May 2021. He originally comes from Romania and lived on the streets for a while. He currently lives in a pack. Sam gets along well with dogs. He is also friendly towards people. Much is still new to him - despite this, Sam is open, learns quickly and likes to go with his human. Sam also gets along well in the car. Sam is neutered, vaccinated and dewormed. We are looking for a home for Sam with dog-experienced people who are willing to explain his new world step by step and give him security. A home as a second dog or in multi-dog households would also be just as good as a home as a single dog - the most important thing is that Sam gets stable and clear leadership so that he can orientate himself towards his reference person. Interested in Sam? Then please contact Ivo Zürcher at: 01. You are also welcome to get to know Sam personally during a visit.

Sam sucht ein neues Zuhause. Sam ist im Mai 2021 geboren. Ursprünglich stammt er aus Rumänien und lebte eine Zeit lang auf der Straße. Aktuell lebt er im Rudel. Mit Hunden kommt Sam gut klar. Auch Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich freundlich. Vieles ist für ihn noch neu – trotzdem ist Sam offen, lernt schnell und geht gerne mit seinem Menschen mit. Auch im Auto fährt Sam gut mit. Sam ist kastriert, geimpft und entwurmt. Wir suchen für Sam ein Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm seine neue Welt Schritt für Schritt zu erklären und ihm Sicherheit zu geben. Ein Zuhause als Zweithund oder in Mehrhundehaltung wäre ebenso gut möglich wie ein Zuhause als Einzelhund – Wichtig ist vor allem, dass Sam stabile und klare Führung bekommt, damit er sich an seiner Bezugsperson orientieren kann. Interesse an Sam?Dann melde dich bitte bei Ivo Zürcher unter: 01. Gerne kannst du Sam bei einem Besuch persönlich kennenlernen.

About Sam-10

What life with Sam-10 looks like

Sam-10 is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sam-10, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sam-10?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Happyend handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sam-10 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sam-10 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Happyend 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 Sam-10 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 Sam-10 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 Animal Happyend early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sam-10 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.
