Arnie

Pointer · Male · Senior · 14 years

We are still looking for a long term Foster or an adopter for our old boy Arnie who recently came into our care with his pal Bart. Arnie is a wobbly 14 year old pointer who has recently had a stroke…..so he is a bit unsteady on his feet. It doesn't stop him getting about and he is first at the gate every morning for his treats, but unfortunately so are all his kennel mates and he does get knocked about a bit. Arnie loves his food, likes some love then mostly snoozes the day away with the odd mooch around the garden. The colder nights are drawing in and it would be lovely for Arnie to be in a warm home. If you can help please contact Amanda on WhatsApp .

About Arnie

What life with Arnie looks like

Arnie is a medium-sized senior pointer dog waiting at APSA 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Arnie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Arnie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APSA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Arnie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Arnie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APSA 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Arnie 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 Arnie 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 APSA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arnie 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
