Esmeralda

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Esmeralda is a good, sociable little dog. She walks well on a leash and doesn't want any problems. She's a genuine love. During walks, she does show interest in rabbits, but at the animal shelter, she's a quiet dog. A great companion for whoever chooses her.

Esmeralda en una perrita buena, sociable. Pasea bien con correa y no quiere problemas. Un auténtico amor. Durante el paseo sí que muestra interés por los conejos, en el albergue es una perra tranquila. Una gran compañera para quien la elija.

About Esmeralda

What life with Esmeralda looks like

Esmeralda is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almanimal Castalla in Spain.

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 Esmeralda, answered.

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