How do I contact the shelter about Sam?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not 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 — Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not 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 Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not 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.

Sam currently lives at our partner animal shelter in Romania, where he’s waiting for his travel permit. His suitcase is already packed. Sam lives together with two female dogs in a kennel and shows himself to be very tolerant and unobtrusive there. Whenever something exciting happens and everyone rushes over, he prefers to calmly observe the situation from further back. The male dog has a calm and very friendly nature. He enjoys being petted but mostly likes to do his own thing. He appears very composed and self-assured. Sam would love a loving family who adores him deeply yet also allows him to go his own way sometimes. A garden would certainly be perfect for him. Other dogs or children (from age 6) shouldn’t be a problem. • House-trained: Unknown • Leash-trained: In training • Child-friendly: Definitely • Dog-friendly: Yes • Cat-friendly: Unknown • Location: Romania 📞 WhatsApp: .avia-image-container.av-ms63gawv-31f91759eee8e36f5ad4b6cd8d04218d img.avia_image{ .avia-image-container.av-ms63gawv-31f91759eee8e36f5ad4b6cd8d04218d .av-image-caption-overlay-center{

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not e.V. in Großefehn.

An young 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.
