How do I contact the shelter about Alba?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Aloia Protectora handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alba if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Aloia Protectora 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 Alba 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 Alba 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 Aloia Protectora early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alba 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 (ES). 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.

Alba

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The lucky charm that Alba is missing is YOU! Do you believe in destiny? Because we are sure that destiny was waiting for you to read this. She is Alba, and she has just arrived at our shelter from a pound. If you look at the photos, you will see an absolutely beautiful dog. But what is not visible at first glance is her incredible heart and... her inexplicable bad luck. We are not going to lie: Alba is the definition of "being in the wrong place at the wrong time." Sometimes dogs arrive at the shelter that make us wonder: How is it possible that no one has stayed with this wonder? Alba meets all, absolutely ALL the conditions to be the perfect companion: Sociable: She gets along great with other dogs. Educated: She knows how to behave at home and walks perfectly. Pure love: She loves people and is a love with children. Despite being a sun, Alba already knows what disappointment is. She has gone through a failed adoption and an adoption that did not work out either, for reasons totally unrelated to her. Life has played her a couple of bad tricks, but she has not lost her smile or the desire to wag her tail. She has only had bad luck, nothing more. At the shelter we have stood up and said: Enough! Alba's streak of bad luck ends here. We are convinced that as soon as you come to meet her and look at her with those eyes, you will fall deeply in love with her. Alba is not looking for just any house; she is looking for her definitive family, the one who understands that good things take time and that she is the greatest treasure in the world. Do you want to be the one to change her destiny? Come to the shelter to meet her. ¡Alba is waiting for you with her paw ready to start your new life together! Call, ask, adopt:

¡El amuleto de la suerte que le falta a Alba eres TÚ! ¿Creéis en el destino? Porque nosotros estamos seguros de que el destino estaba esperando a que vosotros leyerais esto. Ella es Alba, y acaba de llegar a nuestro refugio desde una perrera. Si miráis las fotos, veréis a una perra absolutamente preciosa. Pero lo que no se ve a simple vista es su increíble corazón y… su inexplicable mala suerte. No os vamos a mentir: Alba es la definición de «estar en el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocado». A veces llegan perros al refugio que nos hacen preguntarnos: ¿Pero cómo es posible que nadie se haya quedado con esta maravilla? Alba reúne todas, absolutamente TODAS las condiciones para ser la compañera perfecta: Sociable: Se lleva de maravilla con otros perros. Educada: Sabe comportarse en casa y pasea genial. Amor puro: Adora a las personas y es un amor con los niños. A pesar de ser un sol, Alba ya sabe lo que es la decepción. Ha pasado por una acogida fallida y por una adopción que tampoco cuajó, por causas totalmente ajenas a ella. La vida le ha jugado un par de malas pasadas, pero ella no ha perdido la sonrisa ni las ganas de mover la cola. Solo ha tenido mala suerte, nada más. En el refugio nos hemos plantado y hemos dicho: ¡Basta! La racha de mala suerte de Alba se acaba aquí. Estamos convencidos de que, en cuanto vengáis a conocerla y os mire con esos ojazos, os vais a enamorar perdidamente de ella. Alba no busca una casa cualquiera; busca a su familia definitiva, esa que entienda que lo bueno se hace esperar y que ella es el mayor tesoro del mundo. ¿Quieres ser tú quien cambie su destino? Vente al refugio a conocerla. ¡Alba os está esperando con la patita lista para empezar vuestra nueva vida juntos! Llama, pregunta, adopta:

About Alba

What life with Alba looks like

Alba is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Aloia Protectora in Tui.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.
