Sidra

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

62cm tall, age: *05/2016. Compatible with: Male dogs: Yes Female dogs: No Cats: not tested With us since: 17.05.2025 Location: ANAA Animal Shelter September 2026 - Sidra (Mastin mix) is a quiet fighter. She is one of 13 wild Mastins from Santiuste de Pedraza who survived completely without human contact on an abandoned farm. She was the only one who let herself be rescued. At the shelter, she has flourished - from a frightened dog, she has become a calm, gentle and affectionate soul. She loves treats, enjoys slow petting on the neck and runs with her dog buddies (she currently lives happily with two males). Strangers still scare her, especially outside in noisy and bustling areas. She doesn't need pitying looks, but people with dog experience, patience and a big heart who give her time. A confident first-time dog would give her enormous security. Despite her fears, Sidra never bites. Whoever wins her trust, which only happens with a lot of love and patience, gets a dog that rewards you with boundless loyalty and gratitude. She is not a dog for everyone.

Größe: 62cmAlter: *05/2016. Verträglich mitRüden: JaHündinnen: NeinKatzen: noch nicht getestet Bei uns seit: 17.05.2025Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim ANAA September 2026 – Sidra (Mastin-Mix) ist eine stille Kämpferin. Sie ist eine von 13 verwilderten Mastins aus Santiuste de Pedraza, die völlig ohne Menschenkontakt auf einem verlassenen Hof überlebt haben. Sie war die einzige, die sich retten ließ. Im Tierheim ist sie aufgeblüht – aus der verängstigten Hündin ist eine ruhige, sanfte und verschmuste Seele geworden. Sie liebt Leckerlis, genießt Streicheleinheiten am Hals ganz langsam und rennt mit ihren Hundekumpels (aktuell lebt sie glücklich mit zwei Rüden zusammen). Fremde Menschen machen ihr noch Angst, vor allem draußen bei Lärm und Trubel. Sie braucht keine Mitleidsblicke, sondern Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, Geduld und einem großen Herzen, die ihr Zeit geben. Ein souveräner Ersthund würde ihr enorm viel Sicherheit geben. Trotz ihrer Ängste beißt Sidra nie. Wer ihr Vertrauen gewinnt, was nur mit viel Liebe und Geduld passiert, bekommt eine Hündin, die einen mit grenzenloser Loyalität und Dankbarkeit beschenkt. Sie ist kein Hund, der für jeden geeignet ist.

About Sidra

What life with Sidra looks like

Sidra is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Spanien e.V. in Hamburg.

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 Sidra, answered.

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