How do I contact the shelter about Sam?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Collies suchen ein Zuhause handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sam on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sam if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Collies suchen ein Zuhause 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 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 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 Collies suchen ein Zuhause early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sam 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.

Sam

Collie · Male · Senior · 13 years

, Sam, KHC, 13 years! I was once again asked for help here! Sam, also known as Semmel, is losing his home. His owner is severely ill and in need of care. No one is available to take care of him. He currently lives alone in a small room without any contact, and is occasionally let out. Sam has no other dog companions, as he has never had contact with them, so he barks at them! Leash going is not particularly good! He is healthy and has no limitations. Please understand that only serious inquiries with a full name, phone number, and address can be answered. The more information you provide upfront, the better we can determine if the Collie is suitable for you. On short emails....where is the Collie, we already had Collies, the last one died....will not be answered. Your email with a detailed description to Heidi Jostschulte hjostschulte(at)

Sam hat schon seinen Namen an dem Fressplatz, so toll!!! :-) Sam hat zwei kastrierte KHC Rüden als Kumpel! Vermittelt, Sam, KHC, 13 Jahre! Auch hier wurde ich wieder um Hilfe gebeten! Sam, genannt Semmel, verliert sein Zuhause. Sein Besitzer ist schwer erkrankt und pflegebedürftig. Niemand ist da, der sich um ihn kümmern kann. Er lebt momentan in einem Zimmerchen alleine ohne Kontakt, von wo er ab und zu raus gelassen wird. Sam kennt keine anderen Hunde, da er keinen Kontakt zu ihnen hatte, die bellt er an! Leine gehen ist demnach nicht besonders gut! Er ist gesund und hat keine Einschränkungen. Sam lebt in 87437 Ilmenau! Haben Sie bitte Verständnis, dass nur ernst gemeinte Anfragen mit vollem Namen, Telefonnummer und Anschrift beantwortet werden können. Je mehr Informationen Sie vorab geben, desto besser können wir erkennen, ob der Collie für Sie geeignet ist. Auf kurze Mails....wo ist der Collie, hatten schon selber Collies, der letzte ist gestorben....wird nicht geantwortet. Ihre Mail mit einer ausführliche Beschreibung an Heidi Jostschulte hjostschulte(ät)webdotde ät steht für @ dot steht für den Punkt Zurück

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is a senior collie dog waiting at Collies suchen ein Zuhause in Oldenburg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
