Roko

Pointer · Male · Puppy · 8 months

Roko came to APASA because his previous owners were no longer able to give him the time and attention he needed due to their work commitments. At only seven months old, he is still very much a youngster, with lots of energy, enthusiasm and plenty to learn. Roko is friendly with people and gets along well with both male and female dogs. He is an active, lively boy who needs much more than just a couple of short walks each day. He is looking for people who have the time to give him plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, training and, just as importantly, companionship. As a young dog, Roko still needs consistent education and clear, positive guidance to help him develop into a well-balanced adult. He would be a great match for an active person or family who enjoys spending time outdoors and wants to include their dog in everyday life. Roko has all the ingredients to become a wonderful companion. What he needs now is someone with the time, patience and commitment to help him channel all that youthful energy in the right direction.

About Roko

What life with Roko looks like

Roko is a medium-sized puppy pointer dog waiting at APASA Xabia in Xabia.

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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roko?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APASA Xabia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Roko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roko if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APASA Xabia 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 Roko 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 Roko 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 APASA Xabia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roko 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
