How do I contact the shelter about Hogan?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ALBA Protectora Madrid handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hogan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hogan if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ALBA Protectora Madrid 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 Hogan 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 Hogan 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 ALBA Protectora Madrid early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hogan 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.

Adopt Hogan

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Hogan is 11 years old and doesn't understand what has happened. One day, his owner left him with a caregiver and never came back for him. Hogan arrived at our shelter confused, scared, with skin in a sorry state and a broken spirit. He barked at everyone, confused. Slowly, with baths, care, and a lot of patience, Hogan realized we weren't bad, and the incredible dog he always was, an angel, emerged. Hogan is incredibly social, good, affectionate, lets everything happen, walks wonderfully, and just wants to be close to people. Hogan doesn't want expensive toys or big adventures. He wants company, lots of cuddles, and a warm place to sleep peacefully. Hogan doesn't deserve to spend his last years in a cold kennel enclosure, waiting for something that might never come. All he asks for now is love, a home, or a chance not to feel alone again. Please help us help Hogan. Adopt, foster, spread the word. # Let the ending of his story be love, not abandonment. Leishmania test negative.

Hogan tiene 11 años y no entiende qué ha pasado. Un día su dueña lo dejó con una cuidadora y nunca volvió a buscarle. Hogan llegó a nosotros confundido, asustado, con la piel en un estado lamentable y el alma rota. Ladraba a todo el mundo, confundido. Poco a poco, con baños, cuidados y mucha paciencia, Hogan rápido se dió cuenta de que no éramos malos y apareció el perro increíble que siempre fue, un ángel. Increíblemente sociable, bueno, cariñoso, se deja hacer de todo, pasea de maravilla y solo busca estar cerca de las personas. Hogan no quiere juguetes caros ni grandes aventuras. Quiere compañía, muchos mimos y un sitio calentito donde dormir tranquilo. Hogan no merece pasar sus últimos años en un chenil frío, esperando algo que quizá nunca llegue. Lo único que pide ahora es amor, un hogar, o una oportunidad de no volver a sentirse solo. Por favor, ayúdanos a ayudar a Hogan. , adopta, acoge, difunde.# Que el final de su historia no sea el abandono, sino el amor que siempre mereció Analitica de leishmania negativa.

About Hogan

What life with Hogan looks like

Hogan is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

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.
