Cuca

Female · Adult · 5 years

I am a beautiful Kokoni dog, and like my companion Amy, my story began in the sad case of Quel (La Rioja), where in July 2025 we were found 35 puppies living in terrible conditions inside a house. Luckily, I was able to get out of that situation and now I have the opportunity to start a new life. But I still have something very important: to find a family that opens the doors of their home and, above all, of their heart. I am a dog that loves to enjoy the little things. I love going out to the patio, playing, exploring and snooping around everything I find around me. I don't want to miss a single detail of what happens around me! Those moments outdoors are my favorite moments. I also enjoy the pampering and attention of the volunteers. I love that they dedicate time to me, that they caress me and, of course, that they give me some treats. For the affection and some tasty treats, I am always willing to let myself be conquered! I am cheerful and jovial. Now I would like to find a definitive family where I can enjoy a life full of affection, games, walks and happy moments. A family that considers me one of their own, that takes care of me and never leaves me behind again. After everything I've been through, I think it's time for me to know how nice it can be to have a home forever.

Soy una preciosa perrita de raza Kokoni y, al igual que mi compañera Amy, mi historia comenzó en aquel triste caso de Quel (La Rioja), donde en julio de 2025 fuimos encontrados 35 perritos viviendo en unas condiciones terribles dentro de una vivienda. Por suerte, pude salir de aquella situación y ahora tengo la oportunidad de comenzar una nueva vida. Pero todavía me queda algo muy importante: encontrar una familia que me abra las puertas de su hogar y, sobre todo, de su corazón. Soy una perrita a la que le encanta disfrutar de las pequeñas cosas. Me gusta muchísimo salir al patio, jugar, explorar y curiosear todo lo que encuentro a mi alrededor. ¡No quiero perderme ni un detalle de lo que sucede a mi alrededor! Esos ratitos al aire libre son de mis momentos favoritos. También disfruto un montón de los mimos y de las atenciones de los voluntarios. Me encanta que me dediquen tiempo, que me acaricien y, por supuesto, que me regalen alguna chuche. ¡Por el cariño y algún premio rico siempre estoy dispuesta a dejarme conquistar! Soy alegre y jovial. Ahora me gustaría encontrar una familia definitiva donde pueda disfrutar de una vida llena de cariño, juegos, paseos y momentos felices. Una familia que me considere una más, que me cuide y que nunca vuelva a dejarme atrás. Después de todo lo que he vivido, creo que ya me toca conocer lo bonito que puede ser tener un hogar para siempre.

About Cuca

What life with Cuca looks like

Cuca is an adult dog waiting at Animales Rioja 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cuca, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cuca?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animales Rioja handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cuca on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cuca if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animales Rioja 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cuca 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 Cuca 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 Animales Rioja early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cuca 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.
