How do I contact the shelter about Sira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sira if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) 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 Sira 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 Sira 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 Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sira and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Sira

Chihuahua · Female · Young · 3 years

Origin: Linares (Andalusia) Location: Linares (Andalusia) Size / Weight: approx. 28 cm shoulder height, approx. 3.9 kg Other: neutered, microchipped with EU passport, vaccinated, and tested negative for Mediterranean diseases Temperament: very people-oriented, clingy, gets along well with fellow animals Ideal home: natural surroundings, suitable as an only dog or second dog, experienced dog owners with empathy and no unrealistic expectations Adoption fee: 490 Euro including transport costs to Germany Sira looks out at the world with big, questioning eyes—a world that hasn’t treated her kindly so far. This delicate female dog, around three years old, has already endured the cruelest fate a loyal soul can face in her short life in Andalusia: she was simply abandoned by her owner. Her path led straight into the despair of a so-called kill shelter, where her life hung in grave danger. But thankfully, fate had other plans—thanks to kind-hearted people who donated a "ticket out of hell," we were able to save this precious life among others. Sira now waits eagerly at a Spanish shelter, longing for the gates to open to a true home—this time in Germany. With her compact size, Sira is perfectly made for snuggling up close to her humans. At first, she was still a little shy, as if wondering whether she could really trust again—but the ice melted quickly. Her foster caregivers describe her as an incredibly sweet and affectionate soul who wishes for nothing more than to become a cherished member of a loving family. All this brave little female dog—who also gets along well with fellow animals—needs to complete her happy ending are people with plenty of time, deep empathy, and hearts of gold—people who will promise her: “This time, it’s forever.” If you can imagine giving Sira a new chapter full of adventure, affection, and security, we’d be thrilled to hear from you. In your message, please briefly describe your living situation: Who’s in your household? What’s your home like? What does your typical weekday look like? Do you have prior dog experience? This information helps us find the perfect family for this little treasure. Please note that her new family must also be willing to personally pick up Sira in northern Bavaria—the place where all our rescued dogs arrive from Spain. Thank you for having a heart for the forgotten souls of this world—maybe Sira will soon become part of your life?

Herkunft: Linares (Andalusien) Standort: Linares (Andalusien) Größe / Gewicht: ca. 23 cm Schulterhöhe bei knapp über 3 kg Sonstiges: Kastriert, gechipt mit EU Ausweis, geimpft und negativ auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet Charakter: noch ein wenig schüchtern und unsicher, sucht aber schon den Kontakt zum Menschen, verträglich mit Artgenossen Neues Zuhause: naturnahes Umfeld, Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, idealerweise kleinem Hundekumpel vorhanden, keine Erwartungen, Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen Vermittlungsgebühr: 450 Euro incl. Transportkosten nach Deutschland Die niedliche Chihuahua-Hündin Sira hat ein schweres Schicksal hinter sich. Sie wurde als Gebärmaschine bei einem spanischen Vermehrer missbraucht und schließlich entsorgt, weil sie wohl nicht mehr genügend Profit abwarf. Dank lieber Menschen, die ein "Ticket aus der Hölle" gespendet haben, konnten wir unter anderem auch dieses Hundeleben retten und das niedliche, noch etwas zurückhaltende Herzchen bekommt nun endlich eine Chance auf ein schönes, artgerechtes Hundeleben. Aktuell ist Sira durch die vielen Veränderungen noch gestresst. Sie zeigt sich jedoch bereits als sehr freundlich und dem Menschen nicht abgeneigt. Sira lässt alles geduldig über sich ergehen, sehnt sich aber nach echter Sicherheit. Für die zierliche Maus werden nun wahre Hundefreunde mit großem Herz gesucht, die ihr zeigen, wie schön ein Leben im warmen Körbchen und mit weichem Gras unter den Pfoten sein kann.Sira ist sicher keine Draufgängerin, aber sie freut sich auf gemütliche Spaziergänge und anschließend ausgiebige Kuschelstunden auf dem Sofa. Ein souveräner, kleiner Ersthund im neuen Zuhause wäre sinnvoll, um der kleinen Dame die Eingewöhnung zu erleichtern, da sie mit Artgenossen bestens verträglich ist und bisher immer in einem Rudel gelebt hat.Wenn Sie sich vorstellen können, Siralein eine wundervolle Zukunft zu schenken, dann freuen wir uns sehr auf Ihre Nachricht. Bitte beschreiben Sie uns in Ihrer Anfrage kurz Ihre Lebenssituation: Wer gehört alles zur Familie, wie wohnen Sie, wie sieht Ihr Alltag unter der Woche aus, haben Sie Hundeerfahrung? Diese Informationen helfen uns sehr dabei, die richtige Familie für das kleine Mädel zu finden.Bei dem Tierarztch eck wurde ein Knoten in der Milchleiste festgestellt, dieser wird bei der Kastration gleich mit entfernt!Danke, dass Sie ein Herz für die vergessenen Seelchen dieser Welt haben – vielleicht ist Sira auch bald auf der Sonnenseite des Lebens? Ihre neue Familie sollte allerdings bereit sein, sie persönlich in Nordbayern in Empfang zu nehmen – das ist der Ort, an dem alle unsere Schützlinge aus Spanien ankommen.

About Sira

What life with Sira looks like

Sira is a large young adult chihuahua dog waiting at Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) in Vilseck.

An young 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.
