How do I contact the shelter about Apolo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Protectora Oriolana handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apolo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Apolo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Protectora Oriolana 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 Apolo 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 Apolo 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 Protectora Oriolana early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apolo 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.

Apolo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

NOW WITH NEW VIDEO Apolo has improved a lot both physically and in character. When you are going to catch him on the leash he gets quite excited but as soon as he comes out he is a sweetheart. He is a super affectionate and playful dog, and he gets along well with both males and females. Apolo arrived at the shelter in very poor condition, extremely thin and with vision problems and we believe that he has hearing problems as well, probably due to the bad life he will have led. We thought that he would start to gain weight right away but since he is a nervous dog, who is quite stressed in the cages, we didn't get him to gain weight, despite having tested negative for Leish and 4D.

AHORA CON NUEVO VIDEO - NOW WITH NEW VIDEO Apolo ha mejorado muchísimo tanto físicamente como en cuanto al carácter. Cuando lo vas a coger con la correa se excita bastante pero en cuanto sale fuera es un amor. Es un perro súper cariñoso y juguetón, y a demás se lleva bien con machos y hembras. Apolo ha llegado en muy mal estado al albergue, extremadamente delgado y con problemas de visión y creemos que de oido también, seguramente se deba a la mala vida que habrá llevado. Pensábamos que empezaría a coger peso enseguida pero debido a que es un perro nervioso, que está bastante estresado en la jaula, no conseguimos que suba de peso, a pesar de haber dado negativo a Leish y 4D.

About Apolo

What life with Apolo looks like

Apolo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Oriolana 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.
