SAM

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

The shy heartbreaker SAM is waiting in his foster home in 70839 Gerlingen for his very own family. This rather reserved and cautious young dog needs time to build trust. We estimate his adult size at approx. 35 cm. SAM is a sweet treasure of a dog who would first like to get to know the world at his own pace. Compared to his siblings, he is more reserved and takes a little longer to trust. That is why he needs people who approach him with patience, calm, and understanding, and who do not pressure him. A safe retreat where he can relax and discover everything at his own pace is especially important to him. He is now looking for people who have exactly that kind of understanding and who will show him how wonderful a home of his own can be. Who will give SAM his forever home? Where are the people who will give this adorable little fellow the time he needs to settle in? His placement coordinator Christin looks forward to your inquiry via WhatsApp at 07 or by email at christin. org. You can also apply directly through our self-disclosure form, which you can find here: www. seelentiere. org/vermittlung/selbstauskunft (copy the link and paste it into a new window). SAM will be placed fully vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, with an EU pet passport, after a positive pre-screening, against a protection fee of € 500.00. SAM will of course not be given up for kennel or outdoor housing.

Der schüchterne Herzensbrecher SAM wartet auf seiner Pflegestelle in 70839 Gerlingen auf seine eigene Familie. Der eher zurückhaltende und vorsichtige Hundebub braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Seine Endgröße schätzen wir auf ca. 35 cm. SAM ist ein süßer Hundeschatz, der die Welt erst einmal in seinem eigenen Tempo kennenlernen möchte. Im Vergleich zu seinen Geschwistern ist er zurückhaltender und braucht etwas länger, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Deshalb wünscht er sich Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis begegnen und ihn nicht bedrängen. Ein sicherer Rückzugsort, an dem er sich entspannen und alles in seinem Tempo entdecken darf, ist für ihn besonders wichtig. Jetzt sucht er Menschen, die genau dafür Verständnis haben und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Wer schenkt SAM sein Für-immer-Zuhause? Wo sind die Menschen, die dem putzigen Kerlchen die Zeit schenken, die er zum Ankommen braucht? Seine Vermittlerin Christin freut sich auf Ihre Anfrage per WhatsApp unter 07 oder per Email an christin. org Bewerben können Sie sich auch direkt über unsere Selbstauskunft, die Sie hier finden: www. seelentiere. org/vermittlung/selbstauskunft (Link kopieren und in neuem Fenster einfügen). SAM wird vollständig geimpft, entwurmt und gechipt mit einem EU-Heimtierpass nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen Schutzgebühr in Höhe von € 500,00 vermittelt. In Zwinger- oder Außenhaltung wird SAM natürlich nicht abgegeben.

About SAM

What life with SAM looks like

SAM is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Seelentiere e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Seelentiere 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 — Seelentiere 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Seelentiere 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.
