Joyce

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Joyce es una perra encantadora de tamaño grande, aproximadamente 30 kg de pura simpatía. Es extremadamente cariñosa y siempre busca la atención de los voluntarios para recibir caricias y mimos. Con otros perros es sociable y le encanta jugar, demostrando su espíritu alegre y amigable. Es la compañera ideal para familias activas, ya que tiene mucha energía y le encanta mantenerse en movimiento. A pesar de su dinamismo, en casa se porta de maravilla. Sin embargo, debido a que su vida se ha reducido al refugio, hay que enseñarla a pasear. Durante la DANA, le enseñaron un poco, pero aun así necesita una familia con paciencia para ayudarla con sus miedos durante los paseos. Con un poco de amor y paciencia, puede ser la compañera perfecta.

About Joyce

What life with Joyce looks like

Joyce is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ribercan in Valencia.

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 Joyce, answered.

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