Adopt Alejo bite

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Alejo has only 3 years, but he has lived a hell. He is one of the 52 dogs rescued from an underground facility in Arganda del Rey where they were overcrowded. Despite this, Alejo is a friendly and likable little dog, with good relations with other dogs, tolerates handling quite well, and walks very nicely. Alejo needs a bit of patience and space; he is a calm dog who doesn't ask for much but also doesn't want to be rushed. He goes at his own pace and asks for affection when he seeks it, but doesn't need to be forced to do so all the time. Additionally, he has trouble being left alone, so it would be ideal for him to have a family that can accompany him for the first few months until he gets used to the new home. We need to understand that his experience in confined spaces has not been particularly good, and he needs TIME, but he is not a complicated dog and doesn't require great feats. Alejo is a loveable dog for everything he has suffered. What we do know is that he is eager to start exploring and living his life. If you feel up to meeting him, contact us. He has already been neutered. Leishmania analysis is questionable, we will repeat the analysis in a few days. 4 Idexx test (Ehrlichia, Heartworm, Anaplasma, and borrelia) negative.

Alejo tiene solo 3 años, pero ha vivido un infierno. Es uno de los 52 perros rescatados de una infravivienda de Arganda del Rey donde vivían hacinados. Aun así, Alejo es un perrito sociable y simpático, con buena relación con otros perros, tolera la manipulación bastante bien y pasea muy bien. Alejo necesita algo de paciencia y espacio, es un perro tranquilo, que no pide grandes cosas pero tampoco quiere que le metas prisa, él va a su ritmo y se acerca a pedirte mimos cuando lo busca, pero sin ser necesario obligarle a ello todo el rato. Además, le cuesta quedarse solo, por lo que lo ideal sería una familia que pueda acompañarle los primeros meses hasta que se vaya habituando a la vivienda. Hay que entender que su experiencia en espacios cerrados no ha sido precisamente buena, y necesita TIEMPO, pero no es un perro complicado ni requiere grandes hazañas. Alejo es un amor de perro para todo lo que ha sufrido. Lo que sí sabemos es que tiene muchas ganas de empezar a explorar y vivir de verdad. Si te animas a conocerle, contáctanos. Ya está castrado. Analítica de leishmania dudosa, le repetiremos analítica en unos días. Test 4 Idexx (ehrlichia, filaria, anaplasma y borrelia) negativo. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Alejo bite

What life with Alejo bite looks like

Alejo bite is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alejo bite, answered.

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