ESTRELLA

Mixed Breed · Female

ESTRELLA The Star is still almost a puppy... but she already knows what it's like to lose her family and watch others leave. She arrived when she was just a puppy, and since then she has been silently waiting for someone to look at her again, this time forever. ✨ Her story hasn't been easy. The people she met before didn't treat her as she deserved, and that has left a mark. Moreover, when she arrived she had to fight against a parvovirus and spend days in the hospital, scared and not understanding what was happening. Too many hard things, too soon. That's why today, Star prefers to observe the world from a distance, cautiously, without fully trusting. She feels safe with other dogs. When she is accompanied, she relaxes, breathes differently, allows herself to be a little more of who she is. She has lived with other furry friends and for her they are her support point, her animal shelter. That's why we are looking for a very special family: with an immense heart, yes, but also with a balanced and secure dog that can be her role model, who teaches her that the world isn't so scary. 🐾 She still doesn't go for walks because fear weighs too much, and this will be a path that must be taken slowly, from home, with infinite patience and respecting her own pace. We don't know how she would react with cats. What we do know is that she continues to be a puppy inside, with so much to learn, so much to discover, and with huge potential if she falls into the right hands. Star doesn't need haste or demands. She needs calm love, routines, a gentle voice, and someone who understands that each small step will be a big victory. 💛 If you think you can be this opportunity, or if you know someone who fits her, write to us. And if you can't adopt, share. Maybe her person is closer than we think.

Per a més informació clica al botó ADOPTA'M L’Estrella és encara gairebé un nadó… però ja sap què és perdre la seva família i quedar-se enrere veient com els altres marxen. Va arribar quan tot just era una cadelleta, i des d’aleshores espera en silenci que algú torni a mirar-la i aquesta vegada sigui per sempre. ✨ La seva història no ha estat fàcil. Les persones que va conèixer abans no la van tractar com mereixia, i això ha deixat empremta. A més, només arribar va haver de lluitar contra un parvovirus i passar dies ingressada, espantada i sense entendre què passava. Massa coses dures, massa aviat. Per això, avui, l’Estrella prefereix observar el món des de la distància, amb prudència, sense acabar de confiar. Amb qui sí se sent segura és amb altres gossos. Quan està acompanyada, es relaxa, respira diferent, es permet ser una mica més ella. Ha conviscut amb altres peluts i per a ella són el seu punt de suport, el seu refugi. Per això busquem una família molt especial: amb un cor immens, sí, però també amb un gos equilibrat i segur que pugui ser el seu referent, qui li ensenyi que el món no fa tanta por. 🐾 Encara no surt a passejar, perquè la por pesa massa, i aquest serà un camí que caldrà recórrer a poc a poc, des de casa, amb paciència infinita i respectant els seus temps. No sabem com reaccionaria amb gats. El que sí sabem és que continua sent una cadelleta per dins, amb tot per aprendre, amb tot per descobrir, i amb un potencial enorme si cau a les mans adequades. L’Estrella no necessita presses ni exigències. Necessita amor tranquil, rutines, veu suau i algú que entengui que cada petit pas serà una gran victòria. 💛 Si creus que pots ser aquesta oportunitat, o coneixes algú que encaixi amb ella, escriu-nos. I si no pots adoptar, comparteix. Potser la seva persona està més a prop del que pensem. QUINS PASSOS HAS DE SEGUIR PER ADOPTAR-ME?

About ESTRELLA

What life with ESTRELLA looks like

ESTRELLA is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAN — Protectora d in Spain.

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 ESTRELLA, answered.

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