Ilia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

She was found hit by a car on the road by a volunteer. Fortunately, rest and a few days of anti-inflammatory helped her leg return to normal, and no surgery was necessary. Now she is fully recovered. She entered Ilia at the animal shelter in December 2025. Ilia is a very noble and attached dog to the volunteer. She gets very bored in her kennel and what she enjoys the most is walk time. We have been training her and she walks perfectly on the leash! She adores interacting with other dogs during playtime, she is very social and calm. Sex: Female Date of Birth: June 14, 2021 Weight: 40kg Ilia does not suffer from any current health issues. All our dogs are spayed and vaccinated.

Fue encontrada atropellada en la carretera por una voluntaria. Afortunadamente, el reposo y unos días de antinflamatorio sirvieron para que su pata volviera a la normalidad y no fue necesario operarla. Ahora está totalmente recuperada. Entró en el refugio en diciembre de 2025. Ilia es una perra muy noble y apegada a las voluntaria. Se aburre mucho en su caseta y lo que más disfruta sin duda es la hora del paseo, hemos estado entrenando con ella y camina perfectamente con la correa! Adora relacionarse con los demás perros a la hora del patio, es muy sociable y tranquila.

About Ilia

What life with Ilia looks like

Ilia is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at UPRODEA (Unión Protectora de Animales) in Spain.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Ilia, answered.

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