Santos

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Santos - gentle treasure with a big heart seeks a quiet home 🐾 The approximately 5-year-old Santos is a friendly, dear male dog whose gentle nature touches everyone. Initially, he is still a bit reserved and cautious, but if you give him time to gain trust, he opens up gently and shows what a warm-hearted and loyal dog is in him. Santos is compatible with other dogs and moves confidently in their company. He enjoys going for walks and enjoying time together in the fresh air - but large crowds, full parks or city life are not for him. He feels much more comfortable in a rural, quiet environment where he can arrive at his own pace. Life in the house is still new to Santos, but he shows himself to be teachable and attentive. With a little patience and loving guidance, he will quickly understand how beautiful a sheltered home can be. For Santos, we wish a understanding, quiet home, preferably with a garden and people who accept him as he is - sensitive, cautious, but full of heart and potential. Whoever gives him time will get a loyal companion who gradually gives trust and conquers the hearts of his people with his quiet nature. ❤️

DE·Show original

Santos – sanfter Schatz mit großem Herz sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause 🐾 Der etwa 5-jährige Santos ist ein freundlicher, lieber Rüde, der mit seinem sanften Wesen jeden berührt. Anfangs zeigt er sich noch etwas zurückhaltend und vorsichtig, doch wenn man ihm Zeit gibt, Vertrauen zu fassen, öffnet er sich behutsam und zeigt, welch warmherziger und treuer Hund in ihm steckt. Santos ist verträglich mit Artgenossen und bewegt sich in ihrer Gesellschaft souverän. Er geht gern spazieren und genießt die gemeinsame Zeit an der frischen Luft – große Menschenmengen, volle Parks oder das Stadtleben sind jedoch nichts für ihn. Viel wohler fühlt er sich in einer ländlichen, ruhigen Umgebung, wo er in seinem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Das Leben im Haus ist für Santos noch neu, aber er zeigt sich gelehrig und aufmerksam. Mit etwas Geduld und liebevoller Anleitung wird er schnell verstehen, wie schön ein behütetes Zuhause sein kann. Für Santos wünschen wir uns ein verständnisvolles, ruhiges Zuhause, gern mit einem Garten und Menschen, die ihn so nehmen, wie er ist – sensibel, vorsichtig, aber voller Herz und Potenzial. Wer ihm Zeit schenkt, bekommt einen treuen Begleiter, der Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen schenkt und mit seiner stillen Art das Herz seiner Menschen erobert. ❤️

About Santos

What life with Santos looks like

Santos is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Notfellchen Rumänien e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Santos, answered.

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