Sebastian

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Amazing news: Veteran Sebastian (now also called Olaf) left the Ecarisaj today and is in foster care with the wonderful volunteers who are also looking after Gismo after his surgery. As we had suspected, he is proving to be a real treasure, and we very much hope he will soon find his forever family. He is a beautiful older dog, wise and well-balanced, and he longs deeply for human affection. In the words of his foster family, who met him in person for the first time today: "We are so happy that we could help Sebastian by getting him out of the Ecarisaj. He is a treasure who was hidden under a big ball of tangled fur. He is a charming boy who, despite the circumstances in which he has lived these last years, has kept his enthusiasm for life. He is calm, sweet and tolerant; he behaved very well at the vet and at the grooming salon. He is friendly toward other dogs and cats. After the long day, he fell asleep on the bed. We are committed to giving him the love, care and happiness he deserves." As a next step, he will undergo a much-needed dental operation. His blood tests look good, so no problems are expected. We will add new photos and videos to his album. Thank you! "Sebastian is now about 12-13 years old, possibly older, and has been living at the Ecarisaj since 2020 — a sad combination. And he is such a WONDERFUL senior: loving, cheerful, peaceful, compliant and very cooperative. He also behaved splendidly in a test with another senior at the Ecarisaj, Samson. We hope Sebastian will be cared for soon (he is on the shortlist of good doctors) and that with this new look he will begin a new life outside the Ecarisaj." "The sweet old Sebastian is now about 11-12 years old and has been living at the Ecarisaj for about ONE year. He is very nice, peaceful, friendly and positive; he is truly a fluffy magnet for hugs. He can become the very pleasant, uncomplicated companion of any loving home. He is fairly large, but otherwise I think he will adapt anywhere." "Sebastian is doing well. He has gained weight and coat and looks quite robust. He is affectionate and positive, a very pleasant companion. I hope someone will fall in love with him in these white"

"Erstaunliche Neuigkeiten: Veteran Sebastian (jetzt auch Olaf genannt) hat heute die Ecarisaj verlassen und befindet sich in Pflege bei den großartigen Freiwilligen, die auch Gismo nach seiner Operation pflegen. Wie wir bereits vermutet haben, erweist er sich als echter Schatz und wir hoffen sehr, dass er bald seine ewige Familie findet. Er ist ein wunderschöner älterer Hund, weise und ausgeglichen und sehnt sich sehr nach menschlicher Zuneigung. Mit den Worten seiner Pflegefamilie, die ihn heute zum ersten Mal persönlich getroffen hat: „Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir Sebastian helfen konnten, indem wir ihn aus dem Ecarisaj herausreden konnten. Er ist ein Schatz, der unter einem großen Ball aus wirrem Fell verborgen war. Er ist ein bezaubernder Junge, der trotz der Umstände, unter denen er in den letzten Jahren gelebt hat, seine Begeisterung für das Leben bewahrt hat. Er ist ruhig, lieb und tolerant, er hat sich beim Tierarzt und im Friseursalon sehr gut benommen. Er ist freundlich zu anderen Hunden und Katzen. Nach dem langen Tag schlief er auf dem Bett ein. Wir sind bestrebt, ihm die Liebe, Fürsorge und das Glück zu geben, die er verdient. „ Als nächsten Schritt wird er sich einer dringend notwendigen zahnärztlichen Operation unterziehen. Seine Blutuntersuchungen sehen gut aus, sodass keine Probleme zu erwarten sind. Wir werden seinem Album neue Fotos und Videos hinzufügen. Danke schön! " "Sebastian ist jetzt ungefähr 12-13 Jahre alt, vielleicht älter und lebt seit 2020 in der Ecarisaj ... traurige Kombination. Und er ist so ein TOLLER Senior, liebevoll, fröhlich und auch friedlich, fügsam und sehr kooperativ. Er hat sich auch in einem Test mit einem anderen Senior in Ecarisaj, Samson, großartig verhalten. Wir hoffen, dass Sebastian bald gepflegt wird (er steht in der engeren Auswahl der guten Ärzte) und mit diesem neuen Aussehen ein neues Leben außerhalb der Ecarisaj beginnen wird. " "Der alte nette Sebastian ist jetzt ca. 11-12 Jahre alt, lebt seit etwa EINEM Jahr in der Ecarisaj. Er ist sehr nett und friedlich und freundlich und positiv, er ist wirklich ein flauschiger Umarmungsmagnet. Er kann der sehr angenehme, unproblematische Begleiter jedes liebevollen Zuhause werden, er ist ziemlich groß, aber ansonsten denke ich, dass er sich überall anpassen wird. " "Sebastian geht es gut, er hat an Gewicht und Fell zugenommen und sieht ziemlich kräftig aus, Er ist liebevoll und positiv, eine sehr angenehme Gesellschaft. Ich hoffe, jemand wird sich in diesen weiße

About Sebastian

What life with Sebastian looks like

Sebastian is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fellchen in Not e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sebastian, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sebastian?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fellchen in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sebastian on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sebastian if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fellchen in Not 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sebastian 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 Sebastian 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 Fellchen in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sebastian 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.
