Ballantines

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 5 years

Ballantines, un corazón herido que merece empezar de nuevo 💔 Si buscas cambiar la vida de un perro y regalarle el hogar que nunca ha tenido, Ballantines está esperando a alguien muy especial 💛 Ballantines es un perro miedoso y asustadizo que pasó muchísimo tiempo viviendo en la calle. Su mirada refleja una historia difícil, de esas que hablan de un pasado que probablemente estuvo marcado por el maltrato. -Ballantines se ha ido encontrando con personas en su camino que le "enseñaron" a no confiar. Por suerte, también hubo personas que decidieron ayudarle y no mirar hacia otro lado. Gracias a ellas y a quienes nos ayudaron a rescatarlo, hoy Ballantines está a salvo en nuestra protectora de animales en Callosa de Segura. Ahora solo necesita una familia responsable, paciente y comprensiva, que respete sus tiempos y le dé el espacio necesario para volver a confiar. Con amor, calma y mucha dedicación, descubrirás al maravilloso compañero que lleva dentro🐶❤️ Si estás pensando en adoptar un perro y quieres apostar por una adopción responsable, Ballantines necesita una familia especial que esté dispuesta a acompañarle en ese camino.

About Ballantines

What life with Ballantines looks like

Ballantines is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at APADAC — Protectora de Animales in Spain.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Ballantines, answered.

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