Jara

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 17 years

Jara is the typical shaggy one from our area, those fluffy ones that accompany the fields as if they were just another plant, that craze of planting a dog in the field where I go once a week, feed it, and then leave... plus, she has the mammaries from having given birth a few times, also good for that... used probably for hunting for some time, for that too they are good... let's not get it wrong, field dogs are not happier for having more space, field dogs are sad dogs, they want and seek companionship, it doesn't matter if it's in 50 square meters, the proof is when we open their cages to let them stretch their legs, they run two races and then come straight to be with us, they want companionship, their instinct is not solitary... When they decide to sell the field, the dogs that are there are part of the environment, they don't even think about what they will do with them... they stay there, but of course, not everyone who has a field, thank God, likes the idea of having an animal alone there and having the obligation to go feed it, something that is indispensable if we want them to survive. This is the case of Jara, the buyer of the field didn't want her there, she came with us, she is sad, she doesn't understand what has happened, she misses the barks, she misses the hustle and bustle of volunteers, and seeing her in the cage with her head down breaks our hearts... little by little we know that she will adapt, that she will value that although it's just a little time each day, every day she has a visit, caresses, and a bit of attention... This is not enough, she needs a home, she needs to know the warmth of a family, we are looking for responsible families for her, she is very, very calm, very noble, she loves caresses and drools over the puppies from the animal rescue association, we believe she would get along very well with children.

Jara es la tipica peluda de CAMPO, esos peludos que acompañan al campo como si de una planta mas se tratara, esa mania de plantar un perro en el campo en el que voy una vez a la semana, le echo de comer y me vuelvo a ir.... además tiene las mamas de haber criado unas cuantas veces, también valen para eso.... utilizada seguramente para cazar durante algún tiempo, para eso también valen.....no nos equivoquemos los perros de campo no son mas felices por tener mas sitio, los perros de campo son perros tristes, ellos quieren y buscan compañia, les da igual que sea en 50 metros cuadrados, la prueba la tenemos que cuando les abrimos las jaulas para estirar las patitas, se pegan dos carreras y enseguida vienen a estar con nosotras, quieren compañia, su instinto no es solitario..... Cuando deciden vender el campo, los perros que hay en el forman parte del entorno, ni se plantean que haran con ellos.... se quedan ahí, pero claro no todo el mundo que tiene campo, a dios gracias, le gusta la idea de tener un animal solo en el y tener la obligación de ir a echarle de comer, algo que es iimprescindible si queremos que sobrevivan. Es el caso de Jara, el comprador del campo no la quiso allí, se vino con nosotras, ella está triste, no entiende que ha pasado, extraña los ladridos, extraña el trasiego de voluntarios y verla en la jaula con la cabecita para abajo nos rompe..... poco a poco sabemos que irá adaptandose, que irá valorando que aunque sea poco tiempo al día, todos los dias tiene visita, caricias y un pelin de atención.... Esto no es suficiente, necesita un hogar, necesita conocer el calor de una familia, buscamos familias responsables para ella, es muy muy tranquila, muy noble, le encantan las caricias y se le cae la baba con los cachorros de la protectora, creemos que con niños se llevaría muy bien.

About Jara

What life with Jara looks like

Jara is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at APADAC — Protectora de Animales in Spain.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jara, answered.

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