Flaco

Podenco · Male · Adult · 7 years

Flako was rescued from the streets, probably another discarded hunting dog, a shy little guy with a big appetite for a big hug. He's a bit scared at first, but slowly opens up and gives himself completely. A dog that requires some work but is definitely worth it. A small podenco puppy.

NL·Show original

Flako werd gered van de straat, waarschijnlijk weer een zoveelste afdankertje van een jager, een bedeesd manneke met veel zin om uiteindelijk te genieten van een grote knuffel. Hij is in het begin even bang, maar komt stilaan los en dan geeft hij zich helemaal over. Een hondje waar wat werk aan is maar dat zeker de moeite waard is. Een klein podencootje.

About Flaco

What life with Flaco looks like

Flaco is a small adult podenco dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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 Flaco, answered.

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