Adopt ARDILLA

Podenco · Female · Adult · 5 years

ARDILLA appeared one day by surprise at the Morón military base (Sevilla). Workers did not hesitate to rescue her and help her, and she eventually entered our animal shelter. She is about 3 and a half years old and has a fairly good temperament, although she is a wary and fearful little Podenco hound when it comes to people. At the animal shelter, she has adapted very well from the very beginning, but she is starting to show her field Podenco hound character. She has learned to dig holes in the animal shelter and crawl through them to look for rabbits, and she has also learned to jump over the 1.5-meter fences... which puts her life at risk, as there are more animals in the shelter and they could hurt her. Currently, she is in a pen, and she is not doing well as she does not like being confined, but we cannot risk anything happening to her. ARDILLA is a dog that gets along well with all the other dogs; she has never sought conflict and is quite submissive. We are looking for a family that can give her the security and lots of affection she needs.

Ardilla apareció un día por sorpresa en la base militar de Morón (Sevilla). Los trabajadores no dudaron en rescatarla y ayudarla, hasta que entró en nuestro refugio. Tiene unos 3 años y medio y su carácter es bastante bueno, aunque es una perrita desconfiada y asustadiza con las personas. En el refugio se ha adaptado muy bien desde el primer momento, pero está sacando su carácter de podenco de campo. Ha aprendido a hacer agujeros en el refugio y meterse por ellos para buscar conejos, y además ha aprendido a saltarse las vallas de metro y medio... Lo que pone en riesgo su vida, ya que en el refugio hay más animales y le podrían hacer daño. Actualmente está en un box, y lo pasa bastante mal ya que no le gusta estar encerrada, pero no podemos permitir que le pase algo. Ardilla es una perra que se lleva genial con todos los perros, nunca ha buscado el conflicto y es bastante sumisa. Buscamos para ella una familia que le dé la seguridad que ella necesita y mucho cariño.

About ARDILLA

What life with ARDILLA looks like

ARDILLA is a medium-sized adult podenco dog waiting at Arca de Noé 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting ARDILLA, answered.

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