SARA

Mixed Breed · Female

SARA SARA, born on 12.12.2018, shoulder height approx. 63 cm, weight approx. 24 kg, neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed; further data (MMK) to follow. SARA was brought to the animal shelter by a hunter almost 4 years ago. When she arrived, she was panicked around people. But little by little she has begun to trust and slowly open up to humans. Although it will still take some time before SARA can fully open up, she should finally get the chance to take the step into a new life. With a trusted person who can give her the necessary time and calm and convey sufficient security, SARA has the opportunity to further reduce her fears. A confident dog in the household would certainly be an advantage, one who takes the still-shy SARA under its wing and offers her guidance. Going for walks still frightens SARA at present, yet she already walks quite well on the leash. SARA may only be taken out with double safeguarding, using a belly harness and a GPS tracker, since in her panic she can pull forward, because naturally her surroundings also frighten her.

SARA SARA, geboren am 12. 12. 2018, SH ca. 63 cm, Gewicht etwa 24 kg, kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, weitere Daten (MMK) folgen. SARA wurde von einem Jäger vor fast 4 Jahren ins Tierheim gebracht. Als sie ankam, hatte sie Panik vor Menschen. Aber nach und nach hat sie begonnen, Vertrauen zu fassen und sich langsam auf den Menschen einzulassen. Obwohl es noch einige Zeit dauern wird, bis sich SARA vollends öffnen kann, soll sie endlich die Chance bekommen, den Schritt in ein neues Leben zu machen. Mit einer Vertrauensperson, die ihr die nötige Zeit und Ruhe schenken und ihr ausreichend Sicherheit vermitteln kann, hat SARA die Möglichkeit, ihre Ängste weiter abzubauen. Sicher wäre ein souveräner Hund im Haushalt von Vorteil, der die noch schüchterne SARA an seine Pfoten nimmt und ihr Orientierung bietet. Spazierengehen bereitet SARA derzeit noch Angst, trotzdem geht sie bereits recht gut an der Leine. SARA darf ausschließlich doppeltgesichert mit Bauchgurt und GPS Tracker geführt werden, da sie in ihrer Panik nach vorne gehen kann, denn logischerweise macht auch die Umwelt ihr Angst.

About SARA

What life with SARA looks like

SARA is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Galgo-Friends e.V. in Germany.

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 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 SARA, answered.

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