Askar

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Young · 2 years

Askar is still just a youngster, full of potential and hope. He was brought to APASA in early 2025 and is already showing signs of being a gentle, friendly boy who simply needs the right environment to thrive. Askar gets along well with female dogs and walks confidently on the lead - an impressive start for such a young age. He has tested positive for Leishmaniasis, a manageable condition that is kept under control with affordable daily medication. Despite this, Askar Ragner is healthy, active, and ready to begin a new chapter. With his sweet nature and eager spirit, Askar would do wonderfully in a home that can offer patience, guidance, and most of all — love. Could you be the one to show him what a forever home feels like?

About Askar

What life with Askar looks like

Askar is a medium-sized young adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at APASA Xabia in Xabia.

A 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 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 Askar, answered.

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