Frank

Male · Young · 2 years

March 2024, Fabienne's Diary: Mariska and Frank, brother and sister, rescued from the trash. They were in a closed cardboard box by the trash cans, but a passerby noticed the box moving and when she approached she heard the puppies crying. This is a huge shock for people who are not used to it, but unfortunately it is daily routine here. They were with 5, three of them already found shelter, but these two little ones stayed in the cold. They are now lucky to be with us and may spend their first months with a foster family, which gives them many advantages. They are loved and cherished, get a good start and upbringing, but we really want to ensure a good, warm, responsible home for them! Who is looking for them?

Maart 2024, Dagboek van Fabienne: Mariska en Frank, broer en zus, gered uit de vuilnisbak. Ze stonden in een gesloten kartonnen doos aan de vuilnisbakken, maar een voorbijganger merkte op dat de doos bewoog en toen ze naderde hoorde ze de pupjes huilen. Dit is een enorme shock voor mensen die dat niet gewend zijn, maar helaas is dat hier dagelijkse kost. Ze waren met 5, drie van hen vonden al onderdak, maar deze twee lieverdjes bleven in de koude staan. Ze zijn gelukkig nu bij ons en mogen hun eerste maanden bij een foster gezin doorbrengen, wat hen heel wat voordelen geeft. Ze zijn geliefd en bemind, krijgen een goede start en opvoeding, maar we willen zo graag een goede, warme, verantwoorde thuis voor hen verzekeren! Wie zoekt mee?

About Frank

What life with Frank looks like

Frank is a young adult dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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 Frank, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frank?
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 Frank on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frank 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 Frank 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 Frank 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 Frank 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.
