Sami

Mixed Breed · Male

🐾 Sami sucht ein Zuhause 💚 Sami kennenlernen Sami – eine sanfte Seele möchte lernen, der Welt zu vertrauen ❤️ Manche Hunde stürmen mitten ins Leben. Andere brauchen erst einen Menschen, der ihnen zeigt, dass sie sich trauen dürfen. Unser Sami gehört zu diesen besonderen, sanften Seelen. 🥹 Der hübsche junge Rüde ist lieb und freundlich, begegnet neuen Menschen und unbekannten Situationen aber zunächst noch etwas vorsichtig. Er beobachtet lieber erst einmal, bevor er sich traut, den nächsten Schritt zu machen. Für Sami suchen wir deshalb keine Menschen, die möglichst schnell möglichst viel von ihm erwarten. Wir suchen Menschen, die ihm Zeit, Sicherheit und liebevolle Begleitung schenken. Menschen, die ihm zeigen: „Du musst dich nicht beeilen. Wir gehen diesen Weg gemeinsam.“ ❤️ Ein lieber Hundebub, der etwas Zeit braucht Sami ist noch so jung und hat sein ganzes Leben vor sich. Doch momentan betrachtet er die große Welt noch mit einer gewissen Vorsicht. Neue Situationen können ihn verunsichern und auch bei unbekannten Menschen braucht er zunächst ein wenig Zeit. Das ist vollkommen in Ordnung. Sami soll in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause nicht funktionieren müssen – er soll ankommen dürfen. Wir wünschen uns Menschen, die seine leisen Signale wahrnehmen, ihm Raum lassen und ihm gleichzeitig die Sicherheit geben, die er braucht. Denn Vertrauen lässt sich nicht erzwingen. Es wächst mit jedem guten Erlebnis, mit jedem kleinen Erfolg und mit jedem Tag, an dem Sami erfahren darf, dass seine Menschen verlässlich an seiner Seite bleiben. 🌿 Behutsam ins Leben begleiten Sami ist ein Junghund und möchte natürlich noch ganz viel kennenlernen. Spaziergänge durch die Natur, neue Gerüche, unterschiedliche Umgebungen und all die kleinen Dinge, die für andere Hunde vielleicht selbstverständlich sind – für Sami können daraus viele wertvolle Erfahrungen werden. Dabei wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihn behutsam ins Leben begleiten, ohne ihn in Watte zu packen. Mit Ruhe, Geduld und liebevol

About Sami

What life with Sami looks like

Sami is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAL Finikas (Kreta) in Greece.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sami, answered.

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