Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Help Sams find a home - share this with your friends ❤️ SAMS ⭐ The Black Smile That Steals Your Heart This photo says it all. SAMS sits on the grass, looking directly into the camera—and smiles. Just like that. That wide, open dog smile, those golden eyes, that fluffy-black fur shining in the sun. SAMS is young, SAMS is happy, and SAMS is ready—ready for a home. Finally. What we know about SAMS: Born in 2024, neutered, and standing at 36 cm shoulder height, SAMS is still a young dog—with all that entails: curiosity, joy, and plenty of energy. He gets along well with both male and female dogs. Compatibility with cats remains uncertain. What SAMS needs: SAMS came from a shelter and got to know life there. Now he's searching for the opposite—a warm, reliable home with people who will laugh with him. He's uncomplicated, open, and full of trust. Whoever gives SAMS a home will get a sunshine on four legs in return. Origin:

SAMS ⭐ Das schwarze Lächeln, das dein Herz stiehlt Dieses Foto sagt alles. SAMS sitzt im Gras, schaut direkt in die Kamera — und lacht. Einfach so. Dieses breite, offene Hundelächeln, diese goldenen Augen, dieses flauschig-schwarze Fell, das in der Sonne leuchtet. SAMS ist jung, SAMS ist froh, und SAMS ist bereit. Bereit für ein Zuhause. Endlich. Was wir über SAMS wissen: Geboren 2024, kastriert und mit 36 cm Schulterhöhe ist SAMS noch ein junger Hund — mit allem, was dazugehört: Neugier, Lebensfreude und jede Menge Energie. Er versteht sich sowohl mit Rüden als auch mit Hündinnen. Zur Verträglichkeit mit Katzen können wir keine verlässliche Aussage treffen. Was SAMS braucht: SAMS kam aus einem Shelter und hat das Leben dort kennengelernt. Jetzt sucht er das Gegenteil davon — Wärme, Verlässlichkeit, Menschen, die mit ihm lachen. Er ist unkompliziert, offen und voller Vertrauen. Wer SAMS ein Zuhause gibt, bekommt einen Sonnenschein auf vier Pfoten zurück. freundlich, verträglich, verschmust ✓ Gerne zu einem weiteren Hund ✓ Möchte ländlich leben - Keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt SAMS haben wir im Frühjahr 2026 aus der Tötung in Daeni/Tulcea gerettet. Über seine Vorgeschichte ist uns nichts bekannt. Hilf Sams, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️

About Sams

What life with Sams looks like

Sams is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

An young 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 Sams, answered.

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