Adopt Angélica

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Animal and Plant Protection Association of Malaga: Input 26 January 2026: Angélica was found alone on the street at the end of August 2025. Despite this difficult start, she spent hardly any time in the animal shelter, as she was adopted in September 2025. It seemed that her story finally had a happy ending. In January 2026, just under four months after moving into her new home, Angélica returned to the animal shelter. This had nothing to do with her behavior, but with a change in the family's personal situation, because they could no longer provide the time she needed. Angélica is pure love. She is a very good dog, affectionate, social and noble. She loves human contact, enjoys every stroke and constantly seeks attention. It is impossible not to fall in love with her, both because of her kind nature and her beautiful eyes, which seem to ask for only one thing: to stay forever in a house. Angélica gets along well with other dogs, walks well on a leash, is easy to handle and is a well-balanced dog. She has lived beautifully with children, making her ideal for any type of family. She adapts easily to different situations and can be the perfect companion for both adults and children, as well as the ideal little sister for other furry friends. She has a very special personality, which makes her charming. We don't think she will have problems with cats, as long as she is given time to adjust and is properly introduced. When we introduced her to the cats in the animal shelter, she showed some fear mixed with curiosity. Angélica simply needs a family that truly loves her, that offers her stability, commitment and a permanent second chance. She is more than ready to give all her love, she just hopes that this time it will be forever.

Protectora de Animales y Plantas de Malaga: Input 26 januari 2026: Angélica werd eind augustus 2025 alleen op straat aangetroffen. Ondanks deze moeilijke start bracht ze nauwelijks tijd door in het asiel, omdat ze in september 2025 werd geadopteerd. Het leek erop dat haar verhaal eindelijk een gelukkig einde had. In januari 2026, na net geen vier maanden in haar nieuwe huis, keerde Angélica echter terug naar het asiel. Dit had niets met haar gedrag te maken, maar met een verandering in de persoonlijke situatie van de familie, omdat ze haar niet langer de tijd konden bieden die ze nodig had. Angélica is pure liefde. Ze is een hele goede hond, aanhankelijk, sociaal en nobel. Ze houdt van menselijk contact, geniet van elke streling en zoekt voortdurend aandacht. Het is onmogelijk om niet verliefd op haar te worden, zowel vanwege haar lieve aard als haar prachtige ogen, die maar één ding lijken te vragen: voor altijd in een huis blijven. Angélica kan het goed vinden met andere honden, loopt goed aan de lijn, is makkelijk te hanteren en is een goed uitgebalanceerde hond. Ze heeft prachtig samengeleefd met kinderen, waardoor ze ideaal is voor elk type gezin. Ze past zich gemakkelijk aan verschillende situaties aan en kan de perfecte metgezel zijn voor zowel volwassenen als kinderen, evenals het ideale kleine zusje voor andere harige vrienden. Ze heeft een heel bijzondere persoonlijkheid, wat haar charmant maakt. We denken niet dat ze problemen zal hebben met katten, zolang ze maar de tijd krijgt om te wennen en goed wordt geïntroduceerd. Toen we haar aan de katten in het asiel voorstelden, toonde ze wat angst gemengd met nieuwsgierigheid. Angélica heeft gewoon een familie nodig die echt van haar houdt, die haar stabiliteit, toewijding en een tweede kans biedt die permanent is. Ze is meer dan klaar om al haar liefde te geven, ze hoopt alleen dat het deze keer voor altijd zal zijn.

About Angélica

What life with Angélica looks like

Angélica is a medium-sized young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

An young 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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Angélica, answered.

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