Sammy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Sammy is a 2-year-old neutered male with a shoulder height of approximately 48 cm and a weight of around 16 kg. The handsome boy has been at his foster home since July 30th and is doing really well there. He still shows himself to be somewhat reserved and quiet, which is absolutely understandable after the big change. With some time and security, Sammy will surely come out more and more. He is already showing himself to be a loving, gentle and friendly dog. He approaches people initially with caution, but lets himself into the new situations and will surely build trust quickly with patient and empathetic people. Sammy gets along very well with other dogs. That's why we are looking for a home for him where one or more friendly dogs already live. A confident companion would certainly help him gain security and find his way in the new life. We are looking for people who want to show Sammy the world with patience and calm. He needs people who give him security, don't pressure him and give him the time he needs to arrive. Whoever accompanies Sammy on this journey can look forward to a lovable and loyal companion. Sammy wants to finally arrive - preferably in a loving home with other dogs and people who show him the world together. 🟢Interest? Please fill out our self-assessment

DE·Show original

Sammy ist ein etwa 2 Jahre alter, kastrierter Rüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 48 cm und einem Gewicht von rund 16 kg. Der hübsche Junge ist erst seit dem 30.07. auf seiner Pflegestelle und macht sich dort richtig gut. Noch zeigt er sich etwas zurückhaltend und ruhig, was nach der großen Umstellung aber absolut verständlich ist. Mit etwas Zeit und Sicherheit wird Sammy sicherlich immer mehr aus sich herauskommen. Schon jetzt zeigt er sich als lieber, sanfter und freundlicher Hund. Er begegnet Menschen zunächst eher vorsichtig, lässt sich aber auf die neuen Situationen ein und wird mit geduldigen und einfühlsamen Menschen sicher schnell Vertrauen aufbauen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Sammy sehr gut. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause, in dem bereits ein oder mehrere freundliche Hunde leben. Ein souveräner Artgenosse würde ihm dabei sicherlich helfen, Sicherheit zu gewinnen und sich im neuen Leben zurechtzufinden. Für Sammy suchen wir Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld und Ruhe die Welt zeigen möchten. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben, ihn nicht bedrängen und ihm die Zeit lassen, die er braucht, um anzukommen. Wer Sammy auf diesem Weg begleitet, darf sich auf einen liebenswerten und treuen Begleiter freuen. Sammy möchte endlich ankommen – am liebsten in einem liebevollen Zuhause mit anderen Hunden und Menschen, die ihm gemeinsam die Welt zeigen. 🟢Interesse? Bitte fülle unsere Selbstauskunft aus

About Sammy

What life with Sammy looks like

Sammy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Notfellchen Rumänien e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 Sammy, answered.

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