How do I contact the shelter about JOSEBA?

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 JOSEBA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt JOSEBA 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 JOSEBA 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 JOSEBA 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 JOSEBA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

JOSEBA

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 17 years

We present to you this handsome fellow named JOSEBA. When he arrived at our shelter, his eyes conveyed pure sadness and fear. He must have had a very hard time. With the volunteers, he is the most good, faithful, and obedient animal that exists. With the other male companions, he is very dominant. He gets along well with the females. JOSEBA needs a family that can understand the great potential he has, both for wanting and respecting his family, part inherited from the boxer breed, and the strength, inherited from the pit bull breed. He urgently needs a home where he will be respected and loved, as much and in the same way as we do here. INFORMATION TO FUTURE ADOPTER: As a breed especially dedicated to its exploitation for dog breeding or fighting, our shelter will not place the dog in adoption without sterilizing it first. Similarly, no dog will be given without the required licenses as mandated by law for this type of breed. our shelter does not charge for adoptions, but the costs of sterilization and vaccinations will be the responsibility of the adopter. Additionally, special follow-up will be conducted to ensure that our little one is not a victim of any type of abuse by the adopter. our shelter retains the right to remove the dog at any moment if any situation is detected that, under our perspective, could harm him.

Os presentamos a este guapetón llamada Joseba Cuando llegó a APADAC, sus ojos transmitían pura tristeza y miedo. Debió de pasarlo muy mal. Con los Voluntarios es el animal más bueno, fiel y obediente que existe. Con el resto de sus compañeros machos, es muy dominante. Se lleva muy bien con las hembras. Joseba necesita una familia que sepa entender el gran potencial que tiene, tanto para querer y respetar a su familia, parte heredada del boxer, como la fuerza, heredada de la raza pit bull. Necesita, urgentemente un hogar donde le respeten y le quieran, tanto y de la misma manera, como lo hacemos aquí. INFORMACIÓN, AL FUTURO ADOPTANTE: Al ser de una raza especialmente dedicada a su explotación para cría o pelea de perro APADAC no dará al perro en adopción sin esterilizarlo antes, así mismo no se entregara sin las licencias pertinentes que por ley se exige para este tipo de razas. APADAC no cobra por las adopciones pero los gastos de esterilización y vacunas, sí correrían a cargo del adoptante. Así mismo, se haría un seguimiento especial para comprobar que nuestro pequeño no esta siendo víctima de ningún tipo de abuso por parte del adoptante. Teniendo APADAC la potestad de la retirada del perro en el momento que se detectara cualquier situación, que bajo nuestra visión, pudiera perjudicarle.

About JOSEBA

What life with JOSEBA looks like

JOSEBA is a large senior pit bull terrier 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.
