Sam

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Unser Fels in der Brandung – Sam Sam ist ein beeindruckender Hund. Stattlich, weiß was er will und mit zarter Seele. Sam kommt aus dem öffentlichen Tierheim. Vermutlich war er einige Zeit als Streuner unterwegs, bevor er dort ankam. Wir wünschen uns für Sam ein gemütliches Zuhause in dem er in einem warmen Körbchen noch schöne Jahre verbringen kann. Sam ist stubenrein und ein ruhiger Begleiter. Er kann auch alleine bleiben. Sam zeigt sich verschmust, will aber selbstbestimmt die Aufmerksamkeit einfordern. Hat er diese, reagiert er dann mit Ablehnung und schnappen. Daher ist für Sam eine souveräne Führung und eine dosierte Aufmerksamkeit entscheidend. Beachtet man ihn nicht weiter bzw. fasst ihn nicht an, ist er der netteste Oldie ever. Unser Sam ist eine sensible Seele und viel Hektik verunsichert ihn. Ein Garten wäre gut, in dem er einfach den Tag genießen kann, ohne das jemand etwas von ihm erwartet. Andere Hunde sind ok für ihn, solange diese ihn in Ruhe lassen. Sein zukünftiger Begleiter sollte hundeerfahren sein und ihn so akzeptieren können wie er eben nun mal ist. Man darf keine Erwartungen an ihn stellen, denn diese kann er womöglich nicht erfüllen. Ein Mensch, der super gerne spazieren geht und Zuhause nicht alleine sein möchte, der sich einfach einen ruhigen vierbeinigen Mitbewohner wünscht, ohne viel Aufmerksamkeit, wäre Sams absoluter Hauptgewinn. Sam wurde positiv auf Leishmaniose getestet. Wir klären hierzu gerne auf. Oldies sind Goldies! Sam schaut einem mit seinem Blick direkt in die Seele und wir hoffen so sehr, dass wir einen tollen Menschen für ihn finden! Kontakt: Ilona

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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. Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 — Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 Fellnasen Stuttgart 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.
