Adopt Amur

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Description Amur is a dog that has slowly started to change its behavior since arriving at the shelter. When he was picked up, he was scared, cautious, and didn't like us being close to him. Although he still doesn't show much confidence when he sees people, he is starting to change a little bit, especially with the people who take care of him, clean for him, and feed him every day. He must have gone through many hardships, as he shows resource guarding with food. It would be best for all those traumas from his past to start changing if he is with someone who understands these behaviors.

Descripción Amur es un perro que poco a poco ha empezado a cambiar algo su comportamiento desde que llegó. Cuando fue recogido se mostraba asustado, cauto y no le gustaba que estuviéramos cerca de él. Y aunque todavía no se muestra seguro cuando ve personas, está empezando a cambiar un poquito, sobre todo con las personas que todos los días le cuidan, limpian y dan de comer. Ha debido pasar por muchas penalidades ya que por ejemplo con la comida tiene protección de recursos. Necesita que todos esos traumas que pueda tener de su pasado, vayan cambiando por ella lo mejor es que esté con alguien que entienda de estos comportamientos. Si crees que puedes darle esa seguridad y hacerle confiar en las personas contacta con nosotros

About Amur

What life with Amur looks like

Amur is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rivanimal (Rivas-Vaciamadrid) in Rivas-Vaciamadrid.

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 Amur, answered.

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