Cleo

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Cleo arrived at the shelter on September 1, 2026, and we are slowly getting to know her personality. At first, she may appear a bit cautious around people, but she doesn't take long to warm up. Once she feels more comfortable, she becomes affectionate and lets her softer side shine through. She gets along well with other dogs, making her compatibility with her fellow shelter residents a positive one. Now Cleo needs a family to give her the chance to get to know her, respecting her pace at first and gradually discovering the loving and affectionate dog she becomes when she gains trust.

Cleo llegó a la protectora el 1 de septiembre de 2026 y poco a poco vamos conociendo su forma de ser. Al principio puede mostrarse un poquito precavida con las personas, pero no tarda demasiado en coger confianza. Cuando se siente más cómoda, se muestra cercana y cariñosa, dejando ver una faceta mucho más afectuosa. Con otros perros se lleva muy bien, por lo que la convivencia con sus compañeros es positiva. Ahora Cleo necesita encontrar una familia que le dé la oportunidad de conocerla, respetando su ritmo al principio y descubriendo, poco a poco, a esa perrita cercana y cariñosa que aparece cuando gana confianza.

About Cleo

What life with Cleo looks like

Cleo is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Villena in Spain.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸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 Cleo, answered.

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