How do I contact the shelter about BALU?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAN — Protectora d handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BALU on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BALU if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAN — Protectora d 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 BALU 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 BALU 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 APAN — Protectora d early rather than rehoming privately; they know BALU 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 (CA). 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.

BALU

Mixed Breed · Female

BALU 100% intensity, 0% resistance. ⚡🐾 This is Balú, our golden mix with a kangaroo's soul 🦘 If you approach his cage, you'll see him jump as high as he can... trying to reach your eyes, searching for your gaze. And in that moment... you'll be lost. 💛 Because looking into Balú's eyes is like looking into an infinite well of love, those that have no bottom, that embrace you from the inside and make you feel that everything will be okay. ✨ It seems he has infinite energy, but in reality, what he has is an immense need not to be alone. Everything he does - the jumps, the sprints, his intensity - is a way of saying: "Hey, look at me, stay with me". And when he finally has your attention... he transforms. You discover a dog who enjoys walks without rushing, moments of calm, sitting in the sun while receiving caresses as if the world stopped just for him. ☀️🐶 Balú needs a family before the heat arrives... because with his long fur and his color, heat can be especially difficult for him... and we worry he might suffer. 🌡️ He needs a cool place, a home, someone who takes care of him and accompanies him as he deserves. 🏡💛 Looking for a home that loves bear hugs, laughter, and limitless love. Someone willing to share life with a "puppy" with an adult's body, full of light and joy. He can live with children, preferably a bit older to understand and keep up with his energy.

I en aquell moment… ja estaràs perdut. 💛 Perquè mirar als ulls d’en Balú és com asomar-se a un pou infinit d’amor, d’aquells que no tenen fons, que t’abracen per dins i et fan sentir que tot anirà bé. ✨ Sembla que tingui energia infinita, però en realitat el que té és una necessitat immensa de no estar sol.

Descobreixes un gos que gaudeix dels passejos sense presses, dels moments de calma, d’estar assegut al sol mentre rep carícies com si el món s’aturés només per a ell. ☀️🐶 En Balú necessita una família abans que arribi la calor… perquè amb el seu pèl llarg i el seu color, la calor pot fer-se-li especialment difícil… i ens preocupa que ho passi malament. 🌡️Necessita un lloc fresc, una llar, algú que el cuidi i l’acompanyi com es mereix. 🏡💛 Busca una llar que estimi les abraçades d’ós, les rialles i l’amor sense límits. Algú amb ganes de compartir la vida amb un “cadell” amb cos d’adult, ple de llum i alegria. Pot conviure amb nens, millor si són una mica grandets per entendre i acompanyar la seva energia. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 QUINS PASSOS HAS DE SEGUIR PER ADOPTAR-ME?

About BALU

What life with BALU looks like

BALU is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAN — Protectora d in Spain.

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.
