Adopt Beltz

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 14 years

Marnie was out in the field when she saw one of our volunteers doing rogaining and decided to follow her. When we arrived at the animal shelter, we noticed her round belly, and the veterinarian confirmed she was carrying five podenquitos inside. She gave birth at the animal shelter and soon moved to foster care. Three of the five puppies were adopted, but the last two were not. After so much time together, and considering that one of them is much more timid, we decided we couldn't separate them, as the timid one would likely end up alone and condemned to loneliness. After waiting for a while, no one offered to adopt them together. And their mom, Marnie, had to educate them at home and train them to be well-behaved. Now we can't separate the family unit. We know it's not easy to adopt a whole family, but that's because people don't realize how easy it is to adopt a whole family. Paradoxical, right? They love each other very much and get along well. They play and have fun. You have everything you need now; all you need is a home. A place to live with podenquitos. Are you ready to live with Podenco hounds?

About Beltz

What life with Beltz looks like

Beltz is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Asociación Protectora de Animales LARA in Spain.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇪🇸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 Beltz, answered.

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