Edmundo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

I am EDMUNDO and I was raised on a farm with other animals, far from human contact. To make matters worse, a human put me in a very small barred cage and left me in the middle of a field in an area where people rarely passed. Their idea was that I wouldn't survive. I was there for so many days that I could barely stand when a man walking his dog found me. This man alerted the police, and volunteers from ALBA came to take me to their animal shelter. I've been living at the animal shelter for many years. I don't trust people much, and given my history, you can imagine why. They let me live in the office, and I get along well with other dogs. I come and go from the office as I please. The downside is that I don't really enjoy human affection and don't like being touched. Can you help me overcome my trauma? Edmundo is already neutered. Negative for Leishmania and Ehrlichia.

Me llamo EDMUNDO y me debí de criar en una finca con más animales y lejos del contacto con los humanos. Para colmo fue un humano el que me metió en una jaula de barrotes muy pequeña y me dejó en medio de un campo, en una zona donde generalmente no pasaba nadie. Su idea era que yo no sobreviviese. Llevaba tantos días allí metido que casi no podía ponerme en pie, cuando apareció un señor paseando a su perro. Este señor avisó a la policía y vinieron los voluntarios de ALBA para llevarme a su albergue. Llevo viviendo en el albergue muchos años. No me fío mucho de la gente y, conociendo mi historia, ya te puedes imaginar cuál es el motivo. Me dejan vivir en la oficina y me llevo genial con otros perros. Entro y salgo de la oficina cuando me apetece. Lo malo es que no acabo de disfrutar con las caricias de los humanos y no me gusta que me toquen. Me ayudas a superar mi trauma? Edmundo ya está castrado. Negativo de leishmania y ehrlichia. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Edmundo

What life with Edmundo looks like

Edmundo is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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 Edmundo, answered.

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