Ilay

Male · Puppy

Ilay, Igor, Ithan, and Icon were unfortunately forced to endure this fate and were thrown as puppies into a very miserable state, bluntly over the wall of a foster mom. The owner thought "cleanliness is next to godliness." Upon finding the four helpless creatures, the foster mom immediately took care of them. Now Ilay and his brothers are staying with us in the refuge. They are social young dogs but have a strong character. These boys need a guiding hand that can consistently guide and educate them, but they learn very quickly and pick up new things quickly. Ilay and co live here with other puppies and that goes fine. Ilay is initially hesitant and timid, but he quickly opens up once he knows you and realizes you mean well. Who will help Ilay advance in life by giving him a happy and solid home, after that bad start?

Dat het steriel maken van hun honden veel narigheid kan voorkomen voor hun honden en voor zichzelf, willen maar al te veel mensen hier nog altijd niet begrijpen of aanvaarden. Dan gebeurt het en zitten zij met nestjes pups die ze absoluut niet willen en op eender welke manier zo rap mogelijk kwijt willen. Ilay, Igor, Ithan en Icon moesten helaas ook dat lot ondergaan en werden als pup in een zeer erbarmelijke toestand, botweg over de muur van een opvangmama gesmeten. Opgeruimd staat netjes zal de eigenaar gedacht hebben. Bij het aantreffen van de vier hulpeloze wezentjes heeft de opvangmama zich meteen over hen ontfermd. Nu verblijven Ilay en zijn broertjes bij ons in de refugio. Het zijn sociale jonge honden maar hebben een sterk karakter. Deze knaapjes hebben een sturende hand nodig die hen consequent kan begeleiden en opvoeden, maar ze leren heel snel en pikken gauw nieuwe zaken op. Ilay en co leven hier samen met andere pups en dat verloopt prima. Ilay is in het begin even afwachtend en timide, maar bloeit snel open eens hij u kent en beseft dat u het goed met hem bedoelt. Wie helpt Ilay gauw vooruit in het leven door hem een zalige en rotsvaste thuis te geven, na die slechte start van weleer ?

About Ilay

What life with Ilay looks like

Ilay is a puppy dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸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 Ilay, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ilay?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ilay on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ilay if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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 Ilay 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 Ilay 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 ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ilay 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
