Gitana

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Gitana is a true lady: calm, adorable, and an expert at enjoying pampering. Although she may seem a bit shy at first, as soon as she gets comfortable, she reveals her most affectionate side. She loves receiving attention and sharing those moments of tranquility with people. She gets along well with other dogs, but at 12 years old, she prefers companions who are just as calm as she is. Right now, she’s simply looking for a home where she can live at her own pace, surrounded by love and a family with whom she can fully enjoy this special stage of life.

Gitana es una auténtica señora: tranquila, adorable y experta en disfrutar de los mimos. Aunque al principio puede mostrarse un poquito tímida, en cuanto coge confianza saca su lado más cariñoso. Le encanta recibir atención y compartir esos momentos de calma con las personas. Se lleva bien con otros perros, pero a sus 12 años prefiere compañeros igual de tranquilos que ella. Ahora solo busca un hogar donde vivir a su ritmo, rodeada de cariño y de una familia con la que disfrutar de esta etapa tan especial. AMADRINADA POR: Yovana Currás.

About Gitana

What life with Gitana looks like

Gitana is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Os Biosbardos Ponteareas 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 Gitana, answered.

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