Almendro

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Almendro doesn't trust people much. We don't know much about his past. He approaches to get treats but is wary of touch and leashes. He's a bit of a leader in his cage but gets along very well with his companions. Now we're working to help him discover the joy of walking and feeling petted, so he can learn that humans can become his best friends.

ES·Show original

Almendro no se fía mucho en las personas. No sabemos mucho de su historia anterior. Se acerca a coger premios pero desconfía del tacto y de la correa. Es un poco jefe en la jaula pero convive muy bien con sus compañeros. Ahora vamos a trabajar para que descubra la maravilla de pasear y sentir caricias, que sienta que el humano se puede convertir en su mejor amigo.

About Almendro

What life with Almendro looks like

Almendro is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almanimal Castalla in Spain.

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 Almendro, answered.

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