Adopt Sebastian

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Age: Born around February 2025. Gender: Male. Neutered: No. Character: Friendly, curious, somewhat reserved, compatible with siblings. Size: Approximately 35 cm. In shelter since: August 2025. Siblings: Aurora, Gratia, Nevio, Ivo, and Vega (Minerva – already boarded). Hello, I am one of seven brother puppies who landed in the shelter together. Previously, we were simply abandoned by our owners near the shelter, where the shelter staff fortunately found and took us in. Space is, of course, at a premium in the smallest hut. It was a great blessing for us to be here in safety. However, our mother still lives out there, as she is very fearful and has not been caught yet. We miss her very much and hope from the bottom of our hearts that she will be okay and can eventually join us here. While we are grateful for our temporary home, the shelter is not a place to stay. We share everything here: sleeping space, food, and the few quiet moments. It is loud, lively, and sometimes quite murky. There is often little time for closeness and attention, even though we long for it so much. In our hearts, we all share the same dream: to no longer be just one of many, but something truly special – loved, welcomed, and part of a family. I am a sweet little fellow with short legs and a cute appearance – friendly, curious, and sometimes still somewhat reserved. I get along well with other dogs because I am a peaceful type. When I sense that someone is well-intentioned towards me, my curiosity quickly takes over, and I approach step by step. People who take the time to give me attention and accompany me with patience and affection will soon see how much I enjoy closeness and how much trust I give. I wish for a loving home where I can arrive, learn, and show what a wonderful little companion I am inside. If you are interested in Sebastian, please fill out our interest form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Sebastian is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. 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 passport. 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. Indra W. has taken the paternity for Sebastian and ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Steckbrief Alter: ca. im Februar 2025 geboren. Geschlecht: männlich. Kastriert: neinCharakter: freundlich, neugierig, etwas zurückhaltend, verträglich mit ArtgenossenGröße: ca. 35 cmIm Shelter seit: August 2025 Verwandte: Geschwister Aurora, Gratia, Nevio, Ivo und Vega (Minerva – bereits ausgereist) Hallo, ich bin eines von sieben Hundegeschwistern, die zusammen im Shelter gelandet sind. Zuvor wurden wir einfach von unseren Besitzern in der Nähe des Shelters ausgesetzt, wo uns die Sheltermitarbeiter glücklicherweise fanden und aufnahmen. Platz ist ja bekanntlich in der kleinsten Hütte. Für uns war es ein großes Glück, dass wir nun hier in Sicherheit sind. Unsere Mama lebt allerdings noch immer da draußen, da sie sehr ängstlich ist und bisher nicht eingefangen werden konnte. Wir vermissen sie natürlich sehr und hoffen von Herzen, dass es ihr gutgeht und sie uns irgendwann hierher folgen kann. So dankbar wir für unser jetziges Zuhause auf Zeit sind – das Shelter ist kein Ort zum Bleiben. Wir teilen hier alles: den Platz zum Schlafen, das Futter und die wenigen ruhigen Momente. Es ist laut, lebendig und manchmal ganz schön trubelig. Für Nähe und Aufmerksamkeit bleibt oft kaum Zeit, obwohl wir uns danach so sehr sehnen. In unseren Herzen tragen wir daher alle denselben Traum: endlich nicht mehr einer von vielen zu sein, sondern etwas ganz Besonderes – geliebt, willkommen und Teil einer Familie. Ich bin ein süßes Kerlchen mit kurzen Beinen und einer niedlichen Optik – freundlich, neugierig und manchmal noch etwas zurückhaltend. Mit anderen Hunden verstehe ich mich sehr gut, denn ich bin ein friedlicher Typ. Wenn ich merke, dass mir jemand wohlgesinnt ist, siegt schnell meine Neugier, und ich traue mich Schritt für Schritt näher heran. Menschen, die mir Zeit geben und mich mit Geduld und Zuneigung begleiten, werden bald sehen, wie sehr ich Nähe genieße und Vertrauen schenke. Ich wünsche mir ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem ich ankommen, lernen und zeigen darf, was für ein wundervoller kleiner Gefährte in mir steckt. Wenn Sie Interesse an Sebastian haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Sebastian 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. Indra W. hat die Patenschaft für Sebastian übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Sebastian

What life with Sebastian looks like

Sebastian is a small 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 Sebastian, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sebastian?
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 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 — 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 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 Seelen für Seelchen 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.
