Aramis

Podenco · Male · Senior · 9 years

Aramis, now three years old in the shelter, has become extremely attached due to the low population in Algeciras. He is actually unadoptable. He gets along well with his regular caregivers, but he finds strangers scary and may bite out of fear. Aramis is one of the puppies of mom Azul, who were well cared for and socialized in loving hands. They can start a new life somewhere where they can find happiness. These are very nice puppies. The story of Azul and her 9 puppies. A young mother who became pregnant at her first heat and gave birth to 9 puppies. But she had been living in an abandoned park near the shelter since the puppies were born. Her sister was already caught and is now happily with her new family. Sweet sister probably hasn't thought about survival for a long time and may have already forgotten her sister. It had been our concern for a long time to also bring her safely under our care, but she was very smart and we couldn't do it. For a year, she has been eating from the bowls we set out and hiding under the large shelters or bushes. Now that she has puppies, we were able to follow her and knew where she kept her little ones, well and safely hidden under a mountain crevice. But even this time, mom Azul was too smart for us. Then a man had the great idea to build a huge cage around, the metal round circle was so big that Azul was unaware of any danger and just went in. Then the door closed. At first, as expected, she was in a huge panic, but once mom and kids were reunited, she became calm and accepted her new life. No more search for food, no more search for safe places, no more fear for her little ones who were still exposed to all dangers. She slept a lot for the first quiet, safe nights. She was very tired. Slowly she will learn to trust us, step by step. Her 9 little ones will get a valuable home and that is what we wish for her and her offspring!

Update Aramis, hij is nu drie jaar in het asiel, doordat in Algeciras weinig mensen zijn is hij extreem eenkennig geworden, hij is eigenlijk on adopteerbaar. met zijn vaste verzorgers gaat het goed, maar vreemde mensen vindt hij eng en hij durft happen uit angst. Aramis is een van deze pupjes van mama Azul, samen zijn ze goed opgevangen en gesocialiseerd in liefdevolle handen, ze kunnen een leven beginnen ergens waar ze voor hun leven geluk mogen vinden. hele toffe pupjes. Het verhaal van Azul en haar 9 pupjes. Een jong moedertje die reeds bij haar eerste loopsheid zwanger werd en 9 pupjes ter wereld bracht. Maar ze leefde sinds pup af aan in een verlaten park vlakbij het asiel, haar zusje kon al worden gevangen en is nu gelukkig bij haar nieuw gezin. Zus lief denkt wellicht al lang niet meer aan te moeten overleven en misschien is ze haar zusje reeds vergeten. Het was onze bezorgdheid sinds lange tijd om ook haar veilig bij ons onder te brengen, maar ze was erg slim en het lukte ons niet. Een jaar lang al eet ze van de bakjes die we er zetten en verschuilt ze zich onder de grote schuilgaten of struiken. Nu ze pupjes heeft, hebben we haar kunnen volgen en wisten we waar ze haar kleintjes hield, goed en veilig weggestoken onder een bergkloof. Maar ook dit keer was mama Azul ons te slim af. Toen heeft een man het grandioze idee gehad om een enorme kooi te bouwen in het rond, de metalen ronde cirkel was zo groot dat Azul zich van geen kwaad bewust was en er gewoon in ging. Toen ging de deur dicht. Eerst was ze - zoals verwacht - in een enorme paniek, maar eens mama en kids verenigd waren, werd ze rustig en aanvaardde haar nieuwe leven. Geen zoektocht meer naar eten, geen zoektocht meer naar veilige plaatsen, geen angst meer voor haar kleintjes die toch aan alle gevaren blootgesteld waren. Haar eerste rustige, veilige nachten heeft ze heel veel geslapen. Ze was erg moe. Stilaan zal ze ons leren vertrouwen, stap per stap. Haar 9 kleintjes zullen een waardevolle thuis krijgen en dat is wat we voor haar en haar kroost wensen!

About Aramis

What life with Aramis looks like

Aramis is a large senior podenco dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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 Aramis, answered.

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