CUCA

Mixed Breed · Female

CUCA has had a very complicated and difficult life. As a puppy, she had several traumatic experiences with loud noises and fast vehicles that left her with lasting effects, and anything that moves a little quickly makes her very nervous, causing her to run at cyclists, runners, motorcycles... Over time, she ended up at an animal rescue association, from which, for certain circumstances, she was transferred to our animal shelter. 💔 At the animal shelter she doesn't have it very well either, as the hostile environment and other dogs barking also don't generate much trust and she becomes quite nervous. Despite this, when we arrive she never loses her smile when greeting us. 👤 Cuca is a dog with a lot of personality, strength and energy, very noble, affectionate and friendly with people she knows, especially if you give her "sticks" and other "treats" to chew. With people she doesn't know well, she can be insecure. ❗ She is a potentially precious dog (ppp) so whoever adopts her will need the appropriate license. She knows how to walk on a leash without any problem ❤️ 🐕 During walks, she behaves super well, she is calm and sniffs around, but she is very attentive in case something moves a little quickly and isn't controlled and she gets very nervous. 🏡 We believe she will be more comfortable in a rural environment than in a city, given her insecurities, although she has gone to the city a few times and did it perfectly 10 ❤️ 🐶 With other dogs, she doesn't seem to be good company at first, although on some walks she has managed to walk near some companion from the animal shelter. 🐱 She doesn't like cats at all. 💊 She is negative for leishmania. You can learn more about her on her own Instagram profile:

Per a més informació clica al botó ADOPTA'M Ha tingut una vida molt complicada i difícil. De petita va tindre vàries vivències traumàtiques amb sorolls forts i vehicles ràpids que li ha deixat seqüeles i a qualsevol cosa que es mou una mica ràpid la posa molt nerviosa provocant que es llanci a ciclistes, corredors, motos… Amb el temps va acabar a una protectora, de la qual per certes circumstàncies, va vindre cedida al nostre refugi. 💔 Al Refugi tampoc ho passa gaire bé ja que l'ambient hostil i la resta de gossos bordant tampoc li generen gaire confiança i es posa bastant nerviosa. Tot i així, quan arribem mai perd el seu somriure al rebre'ns. 👤La Cuca és una gossa amb molta personalitat, força i energia, molt noble, carinyosa i simpàtica amb les persones que coneix, sobretot si li dones “palitos" i altres “xuxes" per rosegar. Amb les persones que no coneix gaire es pot mostrar insegura. ❗ És una gossa potencialment preciosa (ppp) per el que caldrà que qui l’adopti tingui la llicència adient. Ella sap anar amb morrió sense cap tipus de problema ❤️ 🐕 Durant el passeig es comporta súper bé, va tranquil·la olorant, però va molt atenta per si apareix algo que es mogui una mica ràpid i no tingui controlat i es posa molt nerviosa. 🏡 Creiem que estarà més còmode en un entorn rural més que en ciutat, donades les seves inseguretats, tot i que ha baixat algun a ciutat i ho ha fet de 10 ❤️ 🐶 Amb altres gossos, a priori, no li semblen una bona companyia tot i que en algun passeig ha aconseguit caminar a prop d’algun company del refugi. 🐱 Els gats no li agraden gens ni mica. 💊 És negativa en leishmania.

About CUCA

What life with CUCA looks like

CUCA 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.

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. APAN — Protectora d 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 — 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 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 APAN — Protectora d 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 (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.
