EKKO

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 10 months

A family presented themselves as good candidates to adopt and care for the little dog in the best possible conditions. He was born on 01/31/2022 and when he was 10 months old, they contacted us to tell us that they were moving and could not take the dog with them. Once again, the most innocent creature pays for the decisions made by humans, and this time it was to leave him outside. The dog suddenly lost his family, the life he had known since he was very young, and now he has to adapt to a shelter. He is in the company of other dogs and is very sociable, affectionate, playful, a sweet little dog. We take care of him as best we can, but replacing his family is now a pending task. We have to find the real one, the one who will not get rid of him when he has a problem. If he is truly to be a member of the family, he must be treated as such and not lowered to the level of something disposable. Ekko is waiting for another opportunity.

La familia se presentaba como buena para adoptar y cuidar del perrito en las mejores condiciones. El había nacido el 31/01/2022 y cuando tenía 10 meses nos contactan para decirnos que se mudaban de casa y el perro no podían llevárselo. De nuevo es la criatura más inocente la que paga las decisiones que los humanos toman, y esta vez era dejarlo fuera. El perdió de golpe a su familia, la vida que conocía desde bien pequeño y ahora se tiene que adaptar a un refugio. Está en compañía de otros perros y es muy sociable, cariñoso, juguetón, un amor de perrito. Nosotros los cuidamos lo mejor que podemos pero sustituir a su familia es ahora una tarea pendiente. Hay que encontrar la verdadera, la que no se deshará de él cuando tenga algún problema. Si de verdad ha de ser un miembro más de la familia hay que tratarle como tal y no rebajarlo al nivel de algo desechable. Ekko espera otra oportunidad.

About EKKO

What life with EKKO looks like

EKKO is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Naturaleza y Animales 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 EKKO, answered.

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