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 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 often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. 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 "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Naturaleza y Animales whether they will for EKKO, what they require (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 EKKO already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for EKKO. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Naturaleza y Animales, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if EKKO isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Naturaleza y Animales about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
