Adopt Avena

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Avena was captured using a trap cage after living her entire life on the streets. A person tipped us off because she was stealing food from their dog and, to make matters worse, she had five one-month-old puppies hidden in some hay bales. When our volunteers arrived, Avena was indeed very nervous, wandering around the area. Fortunately, she was hungry and entered the cage, though she fought with all her strength to escape in order to protect her five one-month-old puppies. Avena is very afraid of people; she doesn't approach us and won't let us touch her. Inside the kennel enclosure, we can touch her, and she remains submissive and very scared. It will take a lot of time for her to start trusting people; we don't know what has happened to this poor girl. She needs a family with experience in caring for fearful dogs who will give her a chance to experience what a home is like.

Avena fue capturada con jaula trampa después de llevar seguramente toda su vida viviendo en la calle. Una persona nos avisó porque se metía en su finca a robar la comida de su perro y, no sólo eso, sino que tenía escondidos a unos cachorros en unas pacas de paja. Cuando llegaron nuestros voluntarios, efectivamente, Avena estaba muy nerviosa merodeando en los alrededores. Afortunadamente, tenía hambre y entró en la jaula, aunque luchó con todas sus fuerzas por escapar para proteger a sus cinco cachorros de un mes de edad. Avena tiene mucho miedo a las personas, no se acerca a nosotros y no se deja tocar. Dentro del chenil la podemos tocar, ella se queda sumisa y muy asustada. Va a necesitar mucho tiempo hasta que empiece a confiar en las personas, no sabemos lo que habrá pasado esta pobre. Ella necesita una familia con experiencia en perros miedosos que le de una oportunidad de conocer lo que es un hogar.

About Avena

What life with Avena looks like

Avena is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora de Animales de Segovia in Segovia.

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 Avena, answered.

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