Sam

Mixed Breed · Male

Sam, an English Setter!! Not much is known about Sam, as Sam was found in a city and brought to our shelter. Sam is a loving dog who enjoys being outside and going for walks. Although he is a hunting dog, he shows no interest in it. He is absolutely compatible, though cats still need to be tested. Setters are very clingy, intelligent, and playful. They are gentle, willful, and child-friendly!! He deserves a home!! The dogs come from a private animal shelter that is supported by many volunteers. The dogs live in small dog groups together.

Sam, ein English Setter!! Soviel weiß man gar nicht zu berichten, denn Sam wurde in einer Stadt aufgefunden und ins Refugium gebracht. Sam ist ein lieber Hund, der gerne draußen ist und spazieren geht. Obwohl er ein Jagdhund ist, zeigt er kein Interesse daran. Er ist absolut verträglich, Katzen müsste man noch testen. Setter sind sehr anhänglich, intelligent und verspielt. Sie sind sanft, willensstark und kinderfreundlich!! Er hat ein zu Hause verdient!! Hunde kommen aus einem privaten Tierheim in dieses wird von vielen Volontären unterstützt. Die Hunde leben in kleinen Hundegruppen zusammen.

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 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. Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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 — Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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 Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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.
