Sam

Male

Ich bin Sam ein selbstbewusster Kerl mit ordentlich Persönlichkeit und Lebensfreude. Das bin ich:Ich weiß ziemlich genau, was ich möchte, und hinterfrage ganz gern mal die Regeln. Ich bin aktiv, clever und immer bereit für das nächste Abenteuer. Grundkommandos kenne ich bereits, und wenn Futter im Spiel ist, bin ich besonders motiviert – ich bin nämlich sehr verfressen.😉 Ich teste gern Grenzen aus und brauche Menschen, die sich davon nicht beeindrucken lassen. Wenn ich mich bedrängt fühle oder man meine Signale ignoriert, kann ich auch mal schnappen. Deshalb ist es wichtig, dass meine Menschen mich gut lesen können und fair mit mir umgehen. Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie. Manche finde ich super, andere eher nicht. Ich wünsche mir ein Zuhause bei ruhigen, souveränen Menschen mit Hunde- und bestenfalls Terriererfahrung. Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Wir sollten am Stadtrand oder in einer ruhigeren Umgebung wohnen, wo ich gemeinsam mit meinen Menschen die Welt entdecken kann. Ich brauche klare Regeln, faire Führung und Menschen, die konsequent sind, ohne laut oder grob zu werden. Wenn du einen cleveren, aktiven Terrier mit Charakter suchst und Lust hast, mit mir als Team durchs Leben zu gehen, freue ich mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen.

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 — Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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 Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg 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.
