Sam

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

The dear Sam was a "flat pig" and lived closely with the people. When the owner of the apartment intervened and pointed out the inappropriate husbandry, Sam came into our care. Sam is active and loves to jump and run. He is intelligent and likes to learn new things all the time. Sam is very creative when it comes to leaving his enclosure. Therefore, the new home should be well secured. Sam is housebroken and would not soil his stall and sleeping area. Unfortunately, he currently does not live in a group, as he had no contact with other pigs in his previous home and must learn again how to communicate with fellow animals. Sam is young and in excellent health. We wish for him a home with people who have experience, take him seriously, and slowly help him get used to a happy pig life. This animal is house-trained.

Der liebe Sam war ein „Wohnungsschwein“ und lebte eng mit den Meschen. Als der Eigentümer der Wohnung eingriff und auf die wenig artgerechte Haltung aufmerksam machte, kam Sam in unsere Obhut. Sam ist aktiv und liebt es zu springen und zu rennen. Er ist intelligent und möchte am liebsten immer was Neues lernen. Dabei ist Sam sehr einfallsreich, wenn es darum geht, sein Gehege zu verlassen. Das neue Zuhause sollte daher gut gesichert sein. Sam ist „stubenrein“ und würde seinen Stall und Schlafplatz nicht beschmutzen. Leider lebt er aktuell noch nicht in der Gruppe, da er in seinem bisherigen Zuhause keinen Kontakt zu anderen Schweinen hatte und er erst wieder lernen muss, mit Artgenossen zu kommunizieren. Sam ist noch jung und kerngesund. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei Menschen mit Erfahrung, die ihn ernst nehmen und ihn langsam wieder an ein glückliches Schweineleben gewöhnen.

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is an adult mixed breed animal waiting at Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) in Germany.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Sam far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

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. Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) 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?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Sam already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) directly what is included and what Sam still needs.
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 Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) 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.
