How do I contact the shelter about Sierra?

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 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 — 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 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 Refugio Casas Ibanez e.V. 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.

Adopt Sierra

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Sierra Galgo-Oma Sierra was found on the street and brought to the animal shelter. At first, she is typically a bit shy and reserved around strangers, but this changes quickly, and Sierra is then a very friendly and affectionate female dog. Sierra has a calm personality, is very social with other dogs, and also runs well on a leash. Even though it might not be obvious from her beautiful and fit appearance, Sierra is said to be around 10 years old. We are happy to have found a foster home for her and she will soon be able to trade the animal shelter pen for a soft sofa or dog bed. Further photos will follow. Foster home available from 23.05.2026 in 65439 Flörsheim.

Sierra Galgo-Oma Sierra wurde auf der Straße gefunden und in das Tierheim gebracht. Anfangs ist sie bei fremden Menschen Galgotypisch etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend, dies legt sich aber recht schnell und Sierra ist dann eine sehr freundliche und liebenswürdige Hündin. Sierra hat einen ruhigen Charakter, ist sehr sozial mit anderen Hunden und läuft auch schon gut an der Leine. Auch wenn man es der schönen und fitten Galga nicht ansieht – Sierra soll schon ca. 10 Jahre alt sein. Wir freuen uns, dass wir eine Pflegestelle gefunden haben und bald darf sie den Tierheim-Zwinger gegen ein weiches Sofa oder Hundebett eintauschen. Weiterer Fotos folgen.

About Sierra

What life with Sierra looks like

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

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.
