Heidy

Labrador Retriever · Female · Senior · 9 years

Heidy came together with 3 brothers and sisters from a kill station; we were able to save them from death there. They were initially very frightened, but they have also been through a lot. The pups had been found in a nature reserve. In terms of size, Heidy is a bit of a Labrador type. Heidy is very sociable with other dogs, but she is still somewhat reserved with people. With a bit more human contact and patience, this will certainly work out. Heidy would do best in a home where one or more other dogs are already present and where she also has some space to be herself. Who will give Heidy a chance?

Heidy kwam samen met 3 broertjes en zusjes uit een dodingsstation, we hebben ze daar van de dood kunnen redden. Ze waren aanvankelijk heel angstig, maar ze hebben dan ook veel meegemaakt. Men had de pups in een natuurgebied gevonden. Qua grootte is Heidy een beetje een labrador type. Heidy is heel sociaal met andere honden, maar naar mensen toe is ze nog wat gereserveerd. Met wat meer menselijk contact en geduld, zal dit zeker goedkomen. Heidy zou het het beste doen in een thuis waar al één of meerdere andere honden aanwezig zijn en waar ze ook wat de ruimte heeft, om zichzelf te kunnen zijn. Wie geeft Heidy een kans?

About Heidy

What life with Heidy looks like

Heidy is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Protectora Animales La Nucia in La Nucia.

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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Heidy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Heidy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Protectora Animales La Nucia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Heidy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Heidy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Protectora Animales La Nucia 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Heidy 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 Heidy 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 Animales La Nucia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Heidy 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.
