NEW ARRIVAL: HELP US TURN IVY’S KENNEL STRESS INTO HOME HAPPINESS! Meet beautiful Ivy, a gorgeous medium-sized mixed breed who is looking for her perfect forever family! Born April 2024 and weighing 17kg, she is a lovely, manageable size and has so much love to give. As a new arrival, everything is still a bit overwhelming for Ivy. One of our wonderful volunteers, Jane, spent some time with her and shared this beautiful insight: "Ivy is a sweet girl but is stressed when leaving the kennel. She walks well on the lead and loves affection. She doesn’t have problems with other dogs and shares with Chaplin at the moment. I’m sure away from the kennel and in a calm and loving home she would thrive." The shelter environment can be a lot for a sensitive soul like Ivy, but behind that initial kennel stress is an affectionate, gentle girl who just wants to please. Hearing how well she walks on the lead and how nicely she coexists with her kennel mate, Chaplin, shows just what a fantastic companion she is going to be! We know that once Ivy steps away from the busy rescue environment and settles into a calm, patient, and loving home, she is absolutely going to blossom. Could you be the one to give Ivy the tranquil space and love she needs to thrive?

About IVY

What life with IVY looks like

IVY is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Murcia) in Lips Rescue.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting IVY, answered.

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