Ohana

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 5 years

Descripción Ohana es una perrita noble, dulce y tremendamente agradecida. Tiene un corazón enorme y muchísimo amor que regalar a la familia que decida darle una oportunidad. Es muy tranquila. Disfruta mucho del calor de un hogar, de los mimos, del contacto, de las siestas y de la calma. Le encanta salir a pasear y vive esos momentos con muchísima ilusión, pero una vez en casa se convierte en toda una dormilona, feliz de descansar cerca de los suyos. Actualmente, la relación con otros perros es complicada. Es un aspecto que puede trabajarse, pero creemos que lo ideal para ella es ser la única peludita de la familia, para que su adaptación sea más sencilla y pueda disfrutar de la tranquilidad que tanto le gusta. Ohana tiene una enfermedad autoinmune que provoca pérdida de masa muscular en su cabecita. Afortunadamente, está muy bien controlada con medicación y no le impide hacer absolutamente nada en su día a día. Ella nos demuestra cada día lo luchadora y valiente que es, con unas ganas inmensas de disfrutar de la vida y de compartirla con alguien que la quiera para siempre. ¿Te animas a darle la oportunidad que tanto merece? Seguro que ella llenará tu vida de amor.

About Ohana

What life with Ohana looks like

Ohana is a medium-sized adult german shepherd dog waiting at Rivanimal (Rivas-Vaciamadrid) in Rivas-Vaciamadrid.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ohana, answered.

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