Sammy

Mixed Breed · Male

🐾 Sammy sucht Menschen mit Herz, Geduld und Hundeerfahrung! ❤️ Sammy ist ein Brackenmischling, männlich und kastriert. Er wurde im Jänner 2021 geboren und hat leider keinen einfachen Start ins Leben gehabt. Aufgrund nicht artgerechter Haltung musste er einiges versäumen und konnte bisher nicht die Erfahrungen sammeln, die ein Hund für ein unbeschwertes Leben braucht. Dementsprechend zeigt sich Sammy anfangs ängstlich und unsicher. Fremden Menschen gegenüber ist er zunächst vorsichtig und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Hat man aber die nötige Geduld und gibt ihm die Möglichkeit, in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen, kann er Schritt für Schritt Sicherheit gewinnen. Für Sammy suchen wir erfahrene und einfühlsame Hundemenschen, die Verständnis für seine Vorgeschichte haben und bereit sind, mit ihm gemeinsam an einer vertrauensvollen Beziehung zu arbeiten. Druck und zu hohe Erwartungen sind dabei fehl am Platz – Sammy braucht Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit vermitteln und ihm zeigen, dass er sich auf sie verlassen kann. Sein neues Zuhause sollte kinderlos sein und ihm ein ruhiges, stabiles Umfeld bieten, in dem er endlich zur Ruhe kommen darf. ❤️ Sammy sucht keine perfekten Menschen, sondern Menschen, die ihm Zeit schenken, seine Ängste ernst nehmen und ihm die Chance auf ein glückliches Hundeleben geben. Wer möchte Sammy auf seinem Weg in ein neues Leben begleiten und ihm zeigen, dass die Welt auch schöne Seiten hat?

About Sammy

What life with Sammy looks like

Sammy is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Landestierschutzverein Steiermark in Graz.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

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. Landestierschutzverein Steiermark 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 — Landestierschutzverein Steiermark 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 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 Landestierschutzverein Steiermark 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.
