adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Samba can stay! His story: Heartbreaker Samba is ready to wrap his paw around you too! After six years of waiting in the shelter in Baia Mare, he finally had the chance to be seen. Even before the Hearts for Stray Dogs initiative became active, he was already there. Then, a seasoned foster home saw the handsome male dog and gave him a second chance at life. Although Samba with his approximately ten years has already passed his wildest years, he is still strong at 68 cm and 36 kg, full of life and energy. Samba has embraced his new life as a beloved family dog and has especially built a solid bond with his foster parent. Daily, he shows his foster parents his affection. The wonderful male dog is happy with exercise and stimulation and enjoys going for walks. He also loves to spend time in the garden, but he equally enjoys being in the house, where he appreciates the newfound luxury of comfortable resting spots and the closeness of his favorite people. Unfortunately, Samba is currently only conditionally compatible with other dogs and is in training regarding dog encounters, as Samba shows leash aggression. Samba has not encountered other dogs on a leash before, but he is on the right path to learn the expected behavior. We do not know which genes our Samba carries. Both herding and herding protection genes seem to be present. Although Samba is eager to please his owners and do right by them, he still needs to learn a few things. Therefore, we wish for a home where people understand what it means to adopt a dog with such breed characteristics. Suitable conditions should be present. Samba is certainly not a city dog. He would like to live in a rural area with plenty of space and ideally with a garden he can watch over. Samba wishes for a home where he can spend his golden years in peace and harmony. We wish for people who already have experience with dogs and are appropriately steadfast. Samba is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated to move into his new home. He will move to a positive Samba's story is up to you to write! Many thanks to Ilona L.! You gave Samba his name and thus an identity! Many thanks to Selina L.! You support Samba with a monthly sponsorship! As of: 04.05.

Seine Geschichte: Herzensbrecher Samba ist bereit auch Dich um seine Pfote zu wickeln! Unendlich erscheinende 6 Jahre wartete er im Shelter von Baia Mare darauf endlich gesehen zu werden. Noch bevor Ein Herz für Streuner dort aktiv wurde, war er schon dort. Dann endlich wurde der stattliche Rüde von einer erfahrenen Pflegestelle gesehen und bekam die Chance seines Lebens. Zwar hat Samba mit seinen ca.10 Jahren seine wildesten Zeiten bereits hinter sich gelassen, doch er ist mit seinen 68 cm und 36 kg Gewicht noch kräftig und voller Lebensfreude. Samba hat sein neues Leben als geliebter Familienhund sehr gerne angenommen und vor allem zu seinem Pflegeherrchen eine gute, solide Bindung aufgebaut. Täglich auf‘s Neue zeigt er seinen Pflegeeltern seine Zuneigung. Der tolle Rüde freut sich über Bewegung und Auslastung und geht gern spazieren. Er liebt es auch, im Garten zu verweilen, doch mindestens ebenso mag er es, sich im Haus aufzuhalten, wo er den noch ungewohnten Luxus bequemer Liegeplätze würdigt und die Nähe seiner Lieblingsmenschen genießt. Leider ist Samba derzeit nur bedingt mit anderen Hunden verträglich und befindet sich im Training, was Hundebegegnungen angeht, denn Samba zeigt an der Leine Aggressionsverhalten. Anderen Hunden angeleint zu begegnen, kannte Samba bislang noch nicht, doch er ist auf einem guten Weg zu lernen, welches Verhalten diesbezüglich von ihm erwartet wird. Welche Gene unser Samba in sich trägt, wissen wir nicht. Sowohl Hüte- als auch Herdenschutzgene scheinen bei ihm vorhanden zu sein. Samba ist zwar bestrebt, seinen Haltern zu gefallen und es ihnen recht zu machen, doch er muss noch das eine oder andere lernen. Daher wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause für ihn, wo man weiß, was es bedeutet, einen Hund mit solchen Rassenmerkmalen zu adoptieren. Entsprechende Bedingungen sollten vorhanden sein. Samba ist sicherlich kein Stadthund. Er möchte in einer ländlichen Gegend mit viel Platz und optimalerweise einem Garten, auf den er aufpassen darf, leben. Samba wünscht sich ein Zuhause, in dem er seinen Lebensabend friedvoll und harmonisch verbringen kann. Wir wünschen uns für den groß gewachsenen Samba Menschen, die bereits Erfahrung im Umgang mit Hunden haben und entsprechend standhaft sind. Samba hat eine kupierte Rute. Das verwehrt ihm leider die Einreise in die Schweiz. Samba kann kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht in sein neues Zuhause umziehen. Er wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine verminderte Schutzgebühr von 325 Euro vermittelt. Wer schreibt Sambas Geschichte zu Ende? Vielen Dank an Ilona L.! Du hast Samba seinen Namen und somit eine Identität geschenkt! Vielen Dank Selina L.! Du unterstützt Samba mit einer monatlichen Patenschaft! Stand: 04.05.2025

About Samba

What life with Samba looks like

Samba is a extra-large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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 Samba, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Samba?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Samba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Samba if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Samba 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 Samba 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Samba 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.
