How do I contact the shelter about Sandy?

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

Can I adopt Sandy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Anahi Dog Rescue 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 Sandy 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 Sandy 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 Anahi Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sandy 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.

Sandy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

Age: 13 years old Weight: 8 kgs Height: 31 cms History: Sandy is a 13-year-old dog. She is very nice, happy, playful, and sociable with all dogs but not with people. Regrettable, she bites if she feels overwhelmed. She can’t be pet and needs a home where she can go around freely. When she feels confident, she gets close to people but she won’t let you touch her. It’ll be great if she is adopted by someone with experience with traumatised dogs so she gets the help she needs and, maybe with time, she will trust people again.

She can’t be pet and needs a home where she can go around freely. When she feels confident, she gets close to people but she won’t let you touch her.

Altura/Height/Größe : 31 cms Historia : Sandy es una perrita de 13 años, buena, alegre, juguetona y sociable con todos los perros. No así, con las personas. Lamentablemente, Sandy muerde si se le agobia. Se necesita un hogar, donde le den plena libertad y tener en cuenta que no la pueden tocar. Ella se acerca a la persona cuando le tiene confianza, pero dejar que la acaricien lamentablemente de momento es imposible. Sería recomendable que la adoptase una persona que tenga conocimientos sobre perritos que han tenido algún tipo de traumas en su vida, para poder ayudarla poco a poco a confiar en los humanos.tiene 8 años, es tranquila, sociable con todos los perros. Pero con las personas es muy desconfiada, no se deja acariciar y si lo intentas, muerde. La persona que quiera adoptarla, debe saber que con otros perros de maravilla, pero necesitará mucha paciencia, amor y tiempo para que esta pequeña confíe. Sandy is a 13-year-old dog.

Sandy ist eine 13-jährige, brave, fröhliche, verspielte und mit allen Hunden verträgliche Hündin. Leider jedoch nicht mit Menschen, denn wenn sie sich bedrängt fühlt, beisst sie auch schon mal zu. Sie braucht ein Zuhause, in dem sie Freiheit genießt und man darauf achtet, sie nicht anzufassen. Hat sie einmal Vertrauen gefasst, nähert sie sich Menschen an, aber streicheln lässt sie sich momentan leider noch nicht. Es wäre ratsam, wenn sie von jemandem mit Erfahrung im Umgang mit traumatisierten Hunden adoptiert würde, um mit ihr nach und nach das Vertrauen in Menschen zu erarbeiten.

About Sandy

What life with Sandy looks like

Sandy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Anahi Dog Rescue in Spain.

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 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.
