Adopt Sanna M

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Born around August 2023, Gender: female, Spayed: yes, Temperament: friendly, calm, and cuddly towards my primary caregiver; very shy towards strangers; gets along with fellow animals, Size: approximately 45 cm, In shelter since: February 2024 Hello there! Since February 2024, I've been a roommate at Shelter Help Azorel. Before that, I lived on the streets and tried my best to survive. For a young girl dog, it was a big challenge, but somehow I managed to make it. Now, I'm in safety and can hope for a better future. With my attentive gaze and unique fur pattern, I am indeed a real beauty, or so I think. I am always friendly and rather reserved. To my primary caregiver at the shelter, I have built trust – she is the one I like to be stroked by and enjoy her closeness. With a little patience, calmness, and love, it will surely be the same in my new family. As soon as I sense that I am welcome and safe, I open my heart and let my soft, cuddly side come out. When strangers come to my pen, for example, when German helpers take photos or assess me – I am initially very shy and hide. The unfamiliar situation and new people unsettle me. But I am convinced: in a quiet home where I am allowed to be, I will gradually gain more trust. I am a quiet lady dog who enjoys the gentle, beautiful moments – leisurely walks, friendly company, and a warm spot to rest. What I still lack is a family of my own that loves me, gives me security, and with whom I can share all of this. Maybe I am exactly the treasure you've been waiting for – and we can find our forever happiness together. If you are interested in Sanna, please fill out our Prospective Owner Form (), or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Sanna is ready to travel and can go with the next transport to Germany. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU Pass. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Swantje S. has taken the guardianship for Sanna and thus ensures a full food bowl. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!. Gets along with other dogs.

Steckbrief Alter: ca. im August 2023 geboren Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Charakter: gegenüber Bezugsperson freundlich, ruhig und verschmust; gegenüber Fremden sehr schüchtern; verträglich mit Artgenossen Größe: ca. 45 cm Im Shelter seit: Februar 2024 Hallo an euch da draußen! Seit Februar 2024 bin ich Mitbewohnerin im Shelter Help Azorel. Davor lebte ich auf der Straße und versuchte so gut es ging zu überleben. Für ein junges Hundemädchen eine große Herausforderung, aber irgendwie konnte ich mich durchschlagen. Doch jetzt bin ich in Sicherheit und kann auf eine bessere Zukunft hoffen. Mit meinem aufmerksamen Blick und meiner einzigartigen Fellzeichnung bin ich doch eine echte Schönheit, oder? Ich bin stets freundlich und eher zurückhaltend. Zu meiner Bezugsperson im Shelter habe ich Vertrauen gefasst – von ihr lasse ich mich gerne streicheln und genieße die Nähe. Mit etwas Geduld, Ruhe und Liebe wird es bestimmt auch in meiner neuen Familie so sein. Sobald ich merke, dass ich willkommen bin und sicher bin, öffne ich mein Herz und lasse meine sanfte, verschmuste Seite zum Vorschein kommen. Bei fremden Besuchern, die in meinen Zwinger kommen – zum Beispiel wenn Helferinnen aus Deutschland Fotos machen oder mich einschätzen möchten – bin ich zunächst sehr schüchtern und verstecke mich. Die ungewohnte Situation und neue Menschen verunsichern mich. Aber ich bin überzeugt: In einem ruhigen Zuhause, in dem ich ankommen darf, werde ich Schritt für Schritt mehr Vertrauen fassen. Ich bin eine ruhige Hundedame, die die leisen, schönen Momente genießt – gemütliche Spaziergänge, freundliche Gesellschaft und ein warmes Plätzchen zum Ausruhen. Was mir jetzt noch fehlt, ist eine eigene Familie, die mich liebt, mir Sicherheit gibt und mit der ich all das teilen darf. Vielleicht bin genau ich der Schatz, auf den ihr schon gewartet habt – und wir dürfen gemeinsam unser Für-Immer-Glück finden. Wenn Sie Interesse an Sanna haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Sanna ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Swantje S. hat die Patenschaft für Sanna übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Sanna M

What life with Sanna M looks like

Sanna M is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Sanna M, answered.

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