Adopt Sierra

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Name: Sierra Breed: mixed breed Gender: female neutered Size: 50 cm Weight: 19 kg Age: 20.09.2021 Im animal shelter since: 05.03.2022 If you are interested in Sierra, please answer the following six questions in your inquiry first: 1. How many people live in your household? 2. Are there children in the house? If yes, how many and how old? 3. Are there other pets in the house? If yes, which ones? 4. What is the living situation (house/apartment? floor? garden?) 5. How many hours would the dog be alone each day in total? (Please note: supervision must be provided by adults. Children do not count for supervision!) 6. Do you already have dog experience? Sierra still finds us rather gruselig, but she has grown to be more willing to be touched by us, albeit reluctantly. She goes for walks with our leash-wearing dogs because she snaps at them when she gets panicky. She therefore needs a home where she has at least one doggy companion to look to and where no children live. Her people need dog experience, patience, and a lot of time, because Sierra will surely need that to settle in. The home should not be in the middle of the city and should be more quiet. Since she grew up in the animal shelter and has not yet been exposed to the big wide world, it will take a lot to catch up in the new home – and a lot of patience. Some dogs adjust more easily to the new routine than others, so it is very important that as a human, you do not have any expectations of the dog. Do you have a question about this animal? Please call us: Tues, Thurs 3-5 pm and Sat 2-5 pm Or write us: Some shelter animals need to be more patient in their search for an appropriate home. This can be due to illness, age, or special character traits. To make the time for these residents as pleasant as possible for them, we rely on the financial support of animal friends. By adopting a sponsorship, you help us with the daily and medical care and housing of our animals. Sponsorships are possible from a monthly contribution of 10 euros. You can also set the amount of your contribution as you see fit. As a thank you, you will receive an individually designed sponsorship certificate and will be mentioned as a sponsor on our homepage and our Facebook page. This animal must be handled with a muzzle. This animal has a history of biting.

Name: Sierra Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich kastriert Größe: 50 cm Gewicht: 19 kg Alter: 20.09.2021 Im Tierheim seit: 05.03.2022 Wenn Sie Interesse an Sierra haben, beantworten Sie uns in Ihrer Anfrage bitte zuerst die folgenden sechs Fragen:1. Wie viele Personen leben im Haushalt?2. Leben Kinder im Haus? Wenn ja, wie viele und wie alt?3. Leben andere Tiere im Haus? Wenn ja, welche?4. Wie ist die Wohnsituation (Haus/Wohnung? Stockwerk? Garten?)5. Wie viele Stunden wäre der Hund am Tag insgesamt alleine? (Bitte beachten: Die Betreuung muss durch erwachsene Personen sichergestellt sein. Kinder zählen daher nicht mit für die Betreuung!)6. Haben Sie bereits Hundeerfahrung?7. Ihr Geburtsjahr?Uns Menschen findet Sierra leider immer noch ziemlich gruselig, lässt sich aber mittlerweile, wenn es unbedingt sein muss, widerwillig von uns anfassen. Sie geht mit unseren Gassigehern mit Maulkorb spazieren, weil sie um sich schnappt, wenn sie in Panik gerät. Sie sucht deshalb ein Zuhause, in dem sie mindestens einen Hundekumpel hat, an dem sie sich orientieren kann und in dem keine Kinder leben. Ihre Menschen brauchen Hundeerfahrung, Geduld und viel Zeit, denn die wird Sierra sicher benötigen, um sich einzuleben. Das Zuhause sollte nicht mitten in der Stadt liegen und eher ruhig sein.Da sie im Tierheim aufgewachsen ist und ansonsten bisher noch nichts von der großen weiten Welt kennengelernt hat, gilt es im neuen Zuhause erstmal, noch gaaanz viel nachzuholen - und dabei sehr geduldig zu sein. Manche Hunde tun sich mit dem neuen Alltag leichter als andere, daher ist es sehr wichtig, dass man als Mensch keine Erwartungen an den Hund hat. Sie haben eine Frage zu diesem Tier? Rufen Sie uns gerne an: Do, Fr 15-17 Uhr und Sa 14-17 Uhr Oder schreiben Sie uns: Mancher Schützling muss bei der Suche nach einem geeigneten Zuhause etwas mehr Geduld aufbringen. Sei es aufgrund einer Krankheit, seines Alters oder besonderer Charakterzüge. Um diesen Bewohnern die Zeit bei uns so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten, sind wir auf die finanzielle Unterstützung von Tierfreunden angewiesen. Mit der Übernahme einer Patenschaft helfen Sie uns bei der täglichen und medizinischen Versorgung und Unterbringung unserer Tiere. Patenschaften sind ab einem Monatsbeitrag von 10 Euro möglich. Darüber hinaus können Sie die Höhe Ihres Beitrags selbstverständlich selbst festlegen. Als Dankeschön erhalten Sie eine individuell gestaltete Patenurkunde und werden sowohl auf unserer Homepage wie auch unserer Facebook-Seite als Pat*in erwähnt.

About Sierra

What life with Sierra looks like

Sierra is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at BMT Tierheim Pfullingen in Pfullingen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sierra, answered.

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