How do I contact the shelter about Olivia?

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

Can I adopt Olivia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refugio Casas Ibanez 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 Olivia 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 Olivia 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 Refugio Casas Ibanez e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Olivia 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.

Olivia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Olivia is a slender, small, beautiful brindle Galgo at the best age for a sighthound. She has been in her experienced foster home in Germany for a few days and can be visited and met there. She gets along very well with the Galgos living there, orients herself to them, and learns from them. That even as a Galgo lady, even if you are still reserved and don't know much, you can calmly greet the dog dad when he comes home. Olivia runs her rounds in the secure garden and also comes into the house with the other dogs. Her new people should have patience, preferably sighthound experience, and understanding that she learned nothing from the hunter in Spain, made her way through alone for a time, and was ultimately secured by the animal shelter manager after over 35 hours of patience with a live trap.

Olivia Olivia ist eine zierliche, kleine, wunderschöne gestromte Galga im besten Windhundalter. Sie ist seit ein paar Tagen in Deutschland in ihrer erfahrenen Pflegestelle und kann dort besucht und kennengelernt werden. Sie kommt sehr gut mit den dort lebenden Galgos zurecht, orientiert sich an ihnen, schaut sich alles ab. Dass man als Galgodame, auch wenn man noch zurückhaltend ist und nicht viel kennt, den Hundepapa ruhig beim nach Hause kommen begrüßen darf. Olivia läuft ihre Runden im gesicherten Garten und kommt auch mit den anderen Hunden ins Haus. Ihre neuen Menschen sollten Geduld, gerne Windhunderfahrung und Verständnis mitbringen, dass sie in Spanien beim Jäger nichts gelernt hat, sich eine Zeit allein durchgeschlagen hat und letztlich von der Tierheimleiterin nach über 35 Stunden Geduld mit einer Lebendfalle gesichert werden konnte.

About Olivia

What life with Olivia looks like

Olivia is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Refugio Casas Ibanez e.V. in Wiesbaden.

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.
