Adopt Fausti

Podenco · Female · Senior · 11 years

FAUSTI: THE DOG THAT CHANGED HER OWN DESTINY Fausti is no ordinary pup; she's a natural survivor. When we rescued her, she was 9 years old, but it took us 3 long years to earn her trust. Her distrust made her always stay one step ahead, until one day, exhausted, she decided it was time to stop running and chose a family to start rebuilding her strength. That's how, finally, she allowed herself to be rescued. Today, Fausti is a timid senior seeking a permanent home where she can peacefully spend her remaining days. Although she's a grandma... she's still an escape artist! Her agility allows her to jump fences with ease, so she seeks a life of contained pampering, a home where she feels safe and protected. Do you want to be her special someone? Contact us or come meet her!

FAUSTI: LA PERRA QUE CAMBIÓ SU PROPIO DESTINO Fausti no es una perrita cualquiera; es una superviviente nata. Cuando la rescatamos tenía 9 años, pero nos costó 3 largos años hacernos con ella. Su desconfianza la hacía ir siempre un paso por delante hasta que un día, exhausta, ella misma decidió que era hora de dejar de huir y eligió a una familia con la que empezar a recuperar fuerzas. Así fue como, finalmente, se dejó rescatar. Hoy, Fausti es una veterana tímida que busca un hogar definitivo donde pasar tranquila el resto de sus días. Eso sí, aunque es una abuelita... ¡es una atleta del escapismo! Su agilidad le permite saltar vallas con facilidad, por lo que busca una vida de mimos contenidos, un hogar dónde se sienta segura y protegida. ¿Quieres ser tú su persona especial? ¡Contáctanos o ven a conocerla!

About Fausti

What life with Fausti looks like

Fausti is a large senior podenco dog waiting at Protectora de Ibi in Ibi (Alicante).

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 Fausti, answered.

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