How do I contact the shelter about Sansa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sansa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sansa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Berlin 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 Sansa 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 Sansa 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 Tierheim Berlin early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sansa 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.

Sansa

German Shepherd · Female · Senior · 11 years

I am Sansa … a lovely female dog who now prefers a more relaxed life. That’s me: I was secured for animal welfare reasons and am an exceptionally friendly and uncomplicated female dog. I think people are great, and I approach them openly and lovingly. I also get along well with other dogs, and I probably understand cats too. I know the basic commands and have learned a lot in my life. Due to my age, I don’t have to perform every exercise perfectly – what’s much more important to me are shared moments, cozy walks, and loving people around me. And if there are treats in the game, I’m always enthusiastic. For food, I’d almost do anything.😉 I wish for … a loving home where I can be pampered again. It should be ground-floor or with an elevator so I can move around comfortably. A home on the outskirts of town would be nice, but it’s not a must. Children over about 6 years old can happily live in my new home. I’m looking for people who want a simple, friendly companion and know that the most beautiful things in life can sometimes be very simple: a comfy dog bed, a few treats, and people who feel like family. If you still want to give a lovely older doggy wonderful times, I look forward to meeting you.

Ich bin Sansa … eine liebenswerte Hundedame, die das Leben inzwischen lieber entspannt angeht. Das bin ich: Ich wurde aus Tierschutzgründen sichergestellt und bin eine ausgesprochen freundliche und unkomplizierte Hündin. Menschen finde ich toll, begegne ihnen offen und lieb. Auch mit anderen Hunden komme ich gut zurecht, und vermutlich verstehe ich mich auch mit Katzen. Ich kenne die Grundkommandos und habe in meinem Leben schon einiges gelernt. Wegen meines Alters muss ich aber nicht mehr jede Übung perfekt ausführen – viel wichtiger sind mir gemeinsame Zeit, gemütliche Spaziergänge und liebe Menschen um mich herum. Und wenn Leckerchen im Spiel sind, bin ich sowieso mit Begeisterung dabei. Für Futter würde ich fast alles tun.😉 Ich wünsche mir … ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem man mich noch einmal richtig verwöhnt. Ebenerdig oder mit Fahrstuhl sollte es sein, damit ich bequem unterwegs sein kann. Ein Zuhause am Stadtrand wäre schön, ist aber kein Muss. Kinder ab etwa 6 Jahren dürfen gern in meinem neuen Zuhause leben. Ich suche Menschen, die eine unkomplizierte, freundliche Begleiterin möchten und wissen, dass die schönsten Dinge im Leben manchmal ganz einfach sind: ein gemütliches Körbchen, ein paar Leckerchen und Menschen, bei denen man dazugehört. Wenn du einer lieben älteren Hundedame noch eine wunderbare Zeit schenken möchtest, freue ich mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen. Melde dich bei Interesse über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Struppi-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Sansa

What life with Sansa looks like

Sansa is a large senior german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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.
