Adopt 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.

Esta pareja de hermanos, Libélula y Escarabajo, nacieron en la casa donde vivía su madre. Estaban muy descuidados y llenitos de garapatas. Un día que escaparon, los encontró un socio, los recogió y los trajo al albergue, como no tenía chip, se han quedado en el albergue. Escarabajo y Libélula son dos hermanitos que necesitan tiempo para confiar. Llegaron muy asustados de las personas, desubicados y siempre en alerta. Solo se tenían el uno al otro, y Escarabajo, más temeroso que su hermana, intentaba ahuyentarnos para protegerla. Poco a poco, con tiempo y paciencia, han ido ganando confianza tanto en el entorno como en nosotros. Por fin empiezan a entender que todo lo que viene de las personas es bueno y que pueden relajarse un poquito. Aun así, siguen siendo temerosos con los extraños. De momento no salen de paseo, pero ya empiezan a aceptar caricias y a dejarse manipular, aunque todavía les intimida mucho. Libélula es más nerviosa y atrevida; cuando confía no para quieta y es algo menos temerosa. Escarabajo es más tranquilo, reflexivo y cauteloso, pero también más tímido. Ahora les queda empezar a explorar más el mundo y descubrir todo lo bueno que hay fuera. Necesitan una familia con mucha paciencia y sin prisa, que les dé el tiempo que necesitan para confiar poco a poco y les enseñe la vida que merecen. Lo ideal sería que hubiese otro perrito en casa si no se van juntos, sobre todo para Escarabajo, que es más introvertido y necesita fijarse en lo que hacen otros perros para sentirse seguro. Analiticas de leishmania negativa. Ya está castrado. Test 4 Idexx (ehrlichia, filaria, anaplasma y borrelia) negativo. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Escarabajo t

What life with Escarabajo t looks like

Escarabajo t is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

An young 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 Escarabajo t, answered.

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.
