GLADIATOR

Male

Una chica recibía el aviso de que un perro había sido atropellado. Lo habían apartado de la carretera para que no siguieran atropellándole. Nos dicen que, aunque el animal no dejaba de chillar, nadie hizo nada. (Aclarar que la chica no se encontraba en Almería en ese momento) Cuando al rato dejaron de oírle, dedujeron que habría muerto. Cuando la chica volvió de su viaje al día siguiente, acudió a la zona pero solo encontró manchas de sangre pero ni rastro de él. Dedujo que el servicio de limpieza se lo habría llevado. Pues ahora llega lo más fuerte: 3 semanas después, si, lo que leéis, 3 semanas después, la vecina nuevamente avisó a esta chica que al salir de casa, había visto al perro, andando sumamente mal y muy deteriorado, pero VIVO. La chica no lo dudo, corrió a la zona y entre los matorrales encontraron a este luchador, al que hemos llamado Gladiator por su fortaleza y ganas de luchar. Se le llevó urgentemente al veterinario, donde realizaron placas y le amputaron la cola prácticamente en su totalidad, por la infección que tenía incluso con gusanos. Y obviamente radiografías, ambas caderas partidas, pero no se observaba el callo tan grande que había generado en este tiempo, así que después de abrir decidieron, seguir dejándolo soldar a su ritmo, más que volver a romper todo, placas, tornillos,…. Ahora mismo está progresando a la perfección, con sus antibióticos, antiinflamatorios, pastillas del dolor…. Es un perro tan tan dulce, a pesar de tener un poquito de miedo, nunca rechaza una caricia. Siempre se necesitan madrinas o padrinos para ayudarnos con sus gastos, si estas interesado en adoptar, amadrinar, o cualquier duda escribe a

About GLADIATOR

What life with GLADIATOR looks like

GLADIATOR is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at La Huella Roja Almería 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 GLADIATOR, answered.

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