Adopt Sam

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

We have taken in Sam along with twelve other dogs from our partner shelter in Romania. The colleagues there needed extra space urgently due to an acute animal welfare case. Sam is a wonderful dog who has shown some shyness so far. He loves going for walks very much, preferably together with a second dog. He would be an ideal second dog and we are sure he could learn a lot from a nice, confident fellow animal. For Sam, we are looking for a quiet place with people who do not live in the heart of the city and who can give him all the time in the world to settle in. This will definitely go quickly, because he is a very lovely fellow. If you are interested in adopting Sam, please feel free to send us a detailed email. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Wir haben Sam zusammen mit zwölf weiteren Hunden aus unserem Partnertierheim in Rumänien aufgenommen. Die Kollegen brauchten dort aufgrund eines akuten Tierschutzfalls dringend Platz. Sam ist ein wunderbarer Hund, der sich bisher noch ein wenig ängstlich zeigt. Er geht sehr gerne spazieren, am liebsten zusammen mit einem zweiten Hund. Er wäre ein idealer Zweithund und wir sind sicher, dass er von einem netten, souveränen Artgenossen viel lernen könnte. Für Sam suchen wir ein Plätzchen bei eher ruhigen Menschen, die nicht direkt im Großstadtgetümmel wohnen und ihm alle Zeit der Welt geben, um richtig aufzutauen. Das wird bestimmt ganz schnell gehen, denn er ist ein sehr lieber Kerl. Wenn Sie sich für die Adoption von Sam interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

An 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. 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 Sam, answered.

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