Estrellita

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Hello, I'm Estrellita, a little grandma weighing just 4.5 kg with a huge heart. They say I'm very good and very sociable. All I want is to be close to people, receive a caress and feel like I belong to a family. ❤️ Now I need a home very urgently. At my age, I don't ask for much: just a warm bed, a quiet corner and someone who loves me forever. Don't let more time pass waiting. I'm ready to fill your home with tenderness and gratitude. Will you give me the chance to have a home again? 🏡💫 For more information about adoptions:

Yo ya estoy lista para llenar tu casa de ternura y agradecimiento. ¿Me das la oportunidad de volver a tener un hogar? 🏡💫 Para más información sobre adopciones:

About Estrellita

What life with Estrellita looks like

Estrellita is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Animales Rioja in Spain.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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 Estrellita, answered.

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