ALTAIR

Mixed Breed · Male

Hello! My name is Altair. I was found abandoned in an industrial park. When I arrived at the shelter, I was very scared, but with time and love, I became a very affectionate dog. I love playing with other dogs. I am getting skinny in the kennel (I've lost a lot of weight from stress), and my caregivers are really worried. I need the warmth of a home, will you give me a chance? Pl. de Cervantes, 12. 28801, Alcalá de Henares Legal Notice Accessibility Privacy Policy Cookies

¡Hola! Me llamo Altair. Me encontraron abandonado en un polígono industrial. Cuando llegué a la protectora tenía muchísimo miedo pero, con tiempo y amor, me volví un perro súper cariñoso. Me encanta jugar con otros perros. Me estoy consumiendo en el chenil (he adelgazado un montón del estrés), y mis cuidadores están realmente preocupados. Necesito el calor de un hogar, ¿me das la oportunidad? Pl. de Cervantes, 12. 28801, Alcalá de Henares Aviso Legal Accesibilidad Política de Privacidad y Protección de Datos Cookies

About ALTAIR

What life with ALTAIR looks like

ALTAIR is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at CIMPA Alcalá de Henares in Spain.

An 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 ALTAIR, answered.

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