Adopt Alma

Female

Alma is a senior galgo accustomed to living with dogs and cats. She is very good and affectionate. However, due to her past life, she is in a delicate state and quite deteriorated by age. She is very clean at home and spends most of her day resting on her bed. She has some habits typical of an older dog. Due to the poor condition she arrived in and how delicate she is, we have decided not to subject her to the operating theatre for her sterilization.

Alma es una galga mayor acostumbrada a convivir con perros y gatos. Es muy buena y cariñosa. Sin embargo, debido a su vida pasada, se encuentra en un estado delicado y bastante deteriorada por la edad. Es muy limpia en casa y se pasa gran parte del día descansando en su cama. Tiene algunas manías propias de una perra mayor. Debido al mal estado en el que llegó y a lo delicada que es, hemos decidido no someterla a quirófano para su esterilización.

About Alma

What life with Alma looks like

Alma is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Fundacion Animal Rescue.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alma, answered.

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