Adopt Sammy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

After the death of his owner, Sammy's life hung in the balance. His euthanasia was already scheduled, but the family decided to give him at least a small chance at life – and set him out on the street. Fortunately, animal welfare workers learned of Sammy's plight and took him to safety immediately. Today, Sammy shows himself to be a playful, clever male dog who greatly enjoys the company of humans. He feels comfortable in the company of two-legged beings and actively seeks connection. Sammy is well-socialized and gets along easily with both fellow animals and other household pets. In the shelter, he has learned to walk on a leash and shows a willing, attentive, and good-natured attitude towards it. Sammy is neutered, fully vaccinated, and stands about 40 cm at the shoulder.

Nach dem Tod seines Besitzers stand Sammys Leben plötzlich auf der Kippe. Seine Einschläferung war bereits vorgesehen, doch die Familie entschied sich, ihm zumindest eine kleine Chance auf Leben zu geben – und setzte ihn auf der Straße aus. Zum Glück erfuhren Tierschützer von Sammys Schicksal und holten ihn umgehend von dort in Sicherheit. Heute zeigt sich Sammy als verspielter, kluger Rüde, der die Nähe zu Menschen sehr genießt. Er fühlt sich im Kontakt mit Zweibeinern sichtlich wohl und sucht aktiv Anschluss. Sammy ist gut sozialisiert und versteht sich sowohl mit Artgenossen als auch mit anderen Haustieren problemlos. Im Shelter hat er das Laufen an der Leine bereits kennengelernt und zeigt sich dabei lernwillig, aufmerksam und gut händelbar. Sammy ist kastriert, voll geimpft und hat eine Schulterhöhe von etwa 40 cm. Ein freundlicher kleiner Kerl, der nach einem schweren Kapitel nun bereit ist, endlich anzukommen

About Sammy

What life with Sammy looks like

Sammy is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfairliebt e.V. in Berlin.

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.

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. Tierfairliebt 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 — Tierfairliebt 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 Tierfairliebt 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.
