How do I contact the shelter about Sultan?

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 Sultan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sultan 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 Sultan 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 Sultan 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 Sultan 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 Sultan

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Sultan was taken by the police from the then owner and given to the refuge. He came to the animal shelter as a young dog, which was almost 5 years ago. Due to his *breed*, we are unfortunately not allowed to import him to Germany. The search for adopting organizations in Austria or Switzerland has so far been unsuccessful. Therefore, he will have to stay in the refuge until the end of his life. He lives there with his long-term partner Holly, with whom he gets along very well. Visitors in the enclosure are welcomed warmly and enthusiastically, delicious treats are a very welcome change, as is a round of play with new and interesting toys. Sultan usually uses an old, turned-over metal bowl. It gives him great pleasure to push the thing at high speed with a lot of noise over the red earth.

Sultan Sultan wurde dem damaligen Besitzer von der Polizei enteignet und im Refugio abgegeben. Er kam schon als Jundhund ins Tierheim, dies ist nun bald 5 Jahre her. Auf Grund seiner *Rassenzugehörigkeit* ist uns die Einfuhr nach Deutschland leider nicht gestattet. Die Suche nach Übernehmenden Vereinen in Österreich oder in der Schweiz blieb bisher ohne Erfolg. So wird er wohl bis zum Ende im Refugio bleiben müssen. Er lebt dort mit seiner langjährigen Partnerin Holly zusammen, die sich bestens verstehen. Besuch im Zwinger wird freundlich und stürmisch begrüßt, Leckereien sind eine sehr willkommene Abwechslung, ebenso eine Runde spielen mit neuem, interessantem Spielzeug. Sultan bedient sich sonst meist eines alten, umgestülpten Blechfutternapfes. Es macht ihm große Freude, das Ding in rasender Geschwindigkeit mit Höllenlärm über die rote Erde zu schieben. Patin: Gabriela Grohmann Name: Sultan Alter: geb. 05.2013 SH: ca.40-45cm Rasse: Mix Info: geimpft,gechipt,kastriert und MMT negativ getestet.

About Sultan

What life with Sultan looks like

Sultan 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.
