ELFIE

Mixed Breed · Male

Elfie was found running around the countryside. Nobody in the area seemed to know where he came from and, despite our efforts, no one contacted us to say they were missing him. He wasn’t microchipped, but he was in good condition and already castrated, which suggests he once had a home. Elfie is a very friendly boy who loves people and enjoys human company much more than being around other dogs. He is a happy, affectionate boy who would make a wonderful companion for the right family. His blood tests have shown that he is positive for Leishmaniosis, and he is currently on medication for this. With proper care and regular check-ups, dogs with Leishmaniosis can live full and happy lives. Elfie would suit a home where he can enjoy attention, walks, and being part of the family. He is fully vaccinated, with a microchip and passport. Blood tested, castrated and on heartworm prevention along with treatment for ticks and fleas and intestinal worms. For more information about Elfie or for an appointment (appointments only) contact the kennels directly.

About ELFIE

What life with ELFIE looks like

ELFIE is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at SAT Animal Rescue Torrevieja.

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 ELFIE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ELFIE?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SAT Animal Rescue Torrevieja handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ELFIE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ELFIE if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SAT Animal Rescue Torrevieja 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 ELFIE 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 ELFIE 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 SAT Animal Rescue Torrevieja early rather than rehoming privately; they know ELFIE 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
