Garra

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Garra is a beautiful mixed breed dog, black in color. He has been at our shelter for too many years already, and each year he weighs more than the last. He is a loving dog, always in search of treats and petting, and most of all, love and tranquility. It breaks our hearts to see him here year after year… He deserves a home just like any other dog. Will you give him a chance?

Garra es un mestizo precioso de color negro. Lleva en el CIMPA desde hace demasiados años ya, y cada año le pesa mucho más que el anterior. Es un perro cariñoso, siempre en busca de chuches y caricias, y sobre todo de amor y tranquilidad. Nos duele en el corazón verle aquí año tras año… Él también se merece una casa como cualquier perro. ¿Le das una oportunidad?

About Garra

What life with Garra looks like

Garra is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Con Alma Protectora 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 Garra, answered.

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