Adopt Aura

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

animal shelter La Huella Verde Olvera: Input 13 August 2025: Aura appeared and wandered around near the entrance of a nearby village. The man who saw her started feeding her, but she did not trust him enough to be caught by him. At that moment, it was impossible for us to save her, so we asked a friend who rescued her for help. He could easily rescue her with a trap, and when she realized she was trapped, she immediately overcame her fears and let herself be petted. When she lived on the street, she found it difficult to trust people. But since she has been in our animal shelter, she has shown herself to be a very happy and affectionate girl. She always shows her happiness and affection towards us and all the volunteers, both men and women. She is playful with us and with all the dogs. She is very kind to all the dogs in the animal shelter, both males and females. At first, she is submissive, but soon becomes everyone's best friend. Aura tested negative for Mediterranean diseases, except for leishmania, for which the results are not conclusive. This means that she is not positive, but she has been in contact with the disease, although her immune system is strong and she has not developed it. She can lead a completely normal life and only uses medication every 3-4 months to strengthen her immune system. It is possible that the results will be negative soon. Aura is a very cheerful dog and easy to handle. She loves cuddles and playing with people, and she is also great with children. She will therefore be an easy dog for any family that gives her the playtime and affection she needs. Who will give her that warm bed?

Asiel La Huella Verde Olvera: Input 13 augustus 2025: Aura verscheen en dwaalde rond bij de ingang van een naburig dorp. De man die haar zag, begon haar te voeren, maar ze vertrouwde hem niet genoeg om zich door hem te laten vangen. Op dat moment was het voor ons onmogelijk om haar te redden, dus vroegen we een vriend die haar redde om hulp. Hij kon haar gemakkelijk redden met een kooi, en toen ze merkte dat ze vastzat, overwon ze onmiddellijk haar angsten en liet ze zich aaien. Toen ze op straat leefde, vond ze het moeilijk om mensen te vertrouwen. Maar sinds ze in ons asiel is, toont ze zich een heel vrolijk en aanhankelijk meisje. Ze toont altijd haar vrolijkheid en genegenheid naar ons en alle vrijwilligers, zowel mannen als vrouwen. Ze is speels met ons en met alle honden. Ze is erg vriendelijk tegen alle honden in het asiel, zowel reuen als teven. In het begin is ze onderdanig, maar al snel wordt ze ieders beste vriendin. Aura testte negatief op mediterrane ziekten, met uitzondering van leishmania, waarvoor de resultaten niet eenduidig zijn. Dit betekent dat ze niet positief is, maar dat ze wel in contact is geweest met de ziekte, hoewel haar immuunsysteem sterk is en ze het niet heeft ontwikkeld. Ze kan een volledig normaal leven leiden en gebruikt slechts om de 3-4 maanden medicijnen om haar immuunsysteem te versterken. Het is mogelijk dat de resultaten binnenkort negatief zullen zijn. Aura is een heel vrolijke hond en makkelijk in de omgang. Ze houdt van knuffelen en spelen met mensen, en ze is ook geweldig met kinderen. Ze zal dus een makkelijke hond zijn voor elk gezin dat haar de speeltijd en genegenheid geeft die ze nodig heeft. Wie geeft haar dat warme mandje?

About Aura

What life with Aura looks like

Aura is a medium-sized young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

An 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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Aura, answered.

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