How do I contact the shelter about Samir?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hunderettung Europa e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Samir on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Samir if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hunderettung Europa 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 Samir 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 Samir 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 Hunderettung Europa e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Samir 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.

Samir

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Samir - a friendly and affectionate dog, looking for his forever home. Samir is a male dog, estimated to be born in July 2022, with an estimated height of 40-49 cm and weight of 20-24 kg. He was rescued from the streets of Romania and brought to the shelter. A woman saw him on the street and asked our team to take him in. More information about how dogs come to the shelter and answers to general questions can be found in our animal welfare FAQ. Samir is an outgoing dog who seeks human contact, giving kisses and demanding pets. He is currently unsure of other dogs. This dog is new to the shelter. Our caregivers take the time to get to know and assess each dog. As we learn more about the character of this dog, we will update this profile. You can still fill out a self-disclosure for this dog. Samir would be very happy in a quiet home. If children are part of the family, they should be a bit older. We are looking for people who are aware that animal shelter dogs bring a certain history with them. We can never predict how a dog will react to life in Germany at the shelter. That's why we are looking for people who have patience, perseverance and goodwill. But one thing is certain: whoever adopts instead of buying not only gives an animal a second chance, but actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by their side. In love yet? Send us a self-disclosure! Adoption If you are thinking about an adoption, first read through the placement process. All dogs are vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, flea-treated and neutered before departure (except for puppies up to 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any questions, feel free to send a message to our placement team.

Im Tierheim seit: August 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. Juli 2022 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 40 – 49 cm Geschätztes Gewicht: ca. 20 – 24 kg Lerne hier Samir in einem weiteren Video kennen! Samir – auf der Suche nach seinem sicheren Hafen Fellnase Samir wurde von der rumänischen Straße gerettet und im Tierheim aufgenommen. Eine Frau sah ihn auf der Straße und bat unser Team, ihn im Tierheim aufzunehmen. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ . Samir zeigt sich bei uns im Tierheim als aufgeschlossener Rüde, der menschlichen Kontakt sucht. Er verteilt Küsschen und fordert Streicheleinheiten ein. Anderen Hunden gegenüber zeigt Samir sich bisher eher unsicher. Diese Fellnase ist noch neu im Tierheim. Unsere Pfleger:innen nehmen sich Zeit, um jeden Hund kennenzulernen und einzuschätzen. Wenn wir mehr über den Charakter dieser Fellnase wissen, ergänzen wir dieses Profil. Natürlich kannst du trotzdem schon eine Selbstauskunft für diesen Hund ausfüllen. Samir würde sich sehr über ein ruhiges Zuhause freuen. Falls Kinder Teil der Familie sind, sollten diese bereits etwas älter sein. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Samir

What life with Samir looks like

Samir is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

An 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.
