How do I contact the shelter about Escarabajo t?

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 Escarabajo t on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Escarabajo t 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 Escarabajo t 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 Escarabajo t 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 Escarabajo t 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.

Escarabajo t

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

This pair of siblings, Libélula and Escarabajo, were born in the house where their mother lived. They were very neglected and full of ticks. One day they escaped, and a friend found them, picked them up, and brought them to the animal shelter. Since Escarabajo did not have a chip, they stayed at the animal shelter. Escarabajo and Libélula are two little brothers who need time to trust. They arrived very scared of people, disoriented, and always on alert. They only had each other, and Escarabajo, more fearful than his sister, tried to scare us off to protect her. Slowly, with time and patience, they have gained trust in their surroundings and in us. Finally, they start to understand that everything that comes from people is good and that they can relax a little. Still, they are still fearful of strangers. For now, they do not go for walks, but they already start to accept petting and being handled, although they are still intimidated by it. Libélula is more nervous and bold; when she trusts, she does not stay still and is a bit less fearful. Escarabajo is more calm, reflective, and cautious, but also more timid. Now they need to start exploring more of the world and discover all the good that is outside. They need a family with a lot of patience and no rush, that gives them the time they need to trust little by little and teaches them the life they deserve. Ideally, there should be another puppy in the house if they do not go together, especially for Escarabajo, who is more introverted and needs to see what other dogs do to feel secure. Leishmania analysis negative. Already neutered. Test 4 Idexx (Ehrlichia, Heartworm, Anaplasma, and borrelia) negative.

ES·Show original

Libélula y Escarabajo son dos hermanos que nacieron en la casa donde vivía su madre, pero crecieron en condiciones de mucho descuido y con abundantes garrapatas. Tras escaparse, fueron encontrados por un colaborador que los recogió y los llevó al albergue. Al no tener chip, han quedado bajo nuestro cuidado. Ambos llegaron muy asustados, desubicados y siempre en estado de alerta. Son inseparables y durante mucho tiempo solo se tenían el uno al otro. Poco a poco, con paciencia y tiempo, han ido ganando confianza, aunque todavía siguen siendo muy temerosos con personas desconocidas. Escarabajo, que al principio era el más tímido, ha evolucionado muchísimo. Es un perro observador, reflexivo y muy atento. Se apoya completamente en sus compañeras de chenil y gracias a ellas se anima a explorar y descubrir el entorno cuando se siente seguro. Es un perro curioso, que cuando confía en ti es capaz de avanzar y abrirse, siempre que cuente con la compañía de otros perros. El arnés lo tiene bastante asimilado y cada vez va mejorando en el paseo, aunque ahora mismo solo se ve capaz si no hay mucha gente. Necesita una familia paciente, con otro perro equilibrado que le sirva de referencia y apoyo. Analiticas de leishmania negativa. Ya está castrado. Test 4 Idexx (ehrlichia, filaria, anaplasma y borrelia) negativo. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos
