Indira

Female · Adult · 5 years

We know she has had a home in the past, but unfortunately, she was not well looked after. She was often found on the streets alone, got pregnant, and her puppies disappeared. At the pound Indira is a lovely, calm dog who is great with people. She loves going out on walks and is excellent on the lead. Indira lives alone in a little cage but enjoys spending her days on the patio with two other big male dogs. In March 2024, Indira was in foster care for a few days due to the risk of flooding at the pound. Her foster family shared wonderful insights about her: “Indira was so sweet! She is fun, loves to play and cuddle (she loves to give kisses). We have different characters in our group of dogs, and she was good with everyone on walks (on the lead), even with the small chihuahuas. She also has some education. She knows that your food is not hers. She knows driving in a car (in our case in a camper) and she loves to observe what happens outside. She should lose some weight, but as she loves to go on long walks, it should go easy in her new home. At home she is a relaxed and calm dog, even with dogs and people walking along our camper, she did not bark and just watched a little excitedly

About Indira

What life with Indira looks like

Indira is a large adult dog waiting at Spanish Stray Dogs UK in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Indira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Indira?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Spanish Stray Dogs UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Indira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Indira if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Spanish Stray Dogs UK 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Indira 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 Indira 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 Spanish Stray Dogs UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Indira 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 (EN). 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.
