How do I contact the shelter about Kala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA SOS Bilbao handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kala on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kala if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA SOS Bilbao 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 Kala 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 Kala 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 APA SOS Bilbao early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kala 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.

Kala

Podenco · Female · Adult · 5 years

Kala is a greyhound with an elegant and striking appearance, but what truly captivates is her spirit. She is the perfect blend of energy and serenity: while she's a burst of joy and playfulness with other dogs, she transforms into a calm and delicate companion around people, ideal for coexisting with children. She's a natural athlete who dreams of exploring the world. If you're looking for a faithful companion for your hiking routes and countless outdoor adventures, Kala is undoubtedly your best choice. We understand that not everyone can take the step of adoption, but Kala needs "complices" who can help her while she awaits her big opportunity. We are in search of sponsors who want to make a difference in her daily life. What does it mean to be her sponsor? It means ensuring she has the best nutrition, her health care up to date, and, if you have the time, being her extra walking companion! By sponsoring her, you become her unwavering support and a fundamental part of her well-being at the animal shelter. Why not take the time to meet her? Not only will you be giving her a home, but you'll be transforming your life forever.

About Kala

What life with Kala looks like

Kala is a medium-sized adult podenco dog waiting at APA SOS Bilbao in Bilbao.

An 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 (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.
