Kao

Male · Adult · 6 years

The Kao is a bit shy and has some difficulty trusting you when you don't know each other. Once he gains trust, however, he is fun, playful, and obedient, yet also independent. He likes to go his own way a bit. He has a good relationship with other dogs, both males and females. During walks he does not pull on the leash and when not tied up he is obedient and does not go far away. He loves to bathe in the stream and play with his walking companion. You can see his adventures on Instagram at Sant Cugat del Vallès, Mira-sol, La Floresta, Valldoreix and Les Planes ANIMAL RESCUE ASSOCIATION D’ANIMALS "EL CAU AMIC"

El Kao és una mica tímid i li costa una mica confiar en tu quan no et coneix. Un cop agafa confiança, però, és divertit, juganer i obedient i alhora independent. Li agrada anar una mica al seu aire.Té bona relació amb els altres gossos tan amb mascles com amb femelles. Durant les passejades no tira de la corretja i quan no va lligat és obedient i no s’allunya gaire. Li encanta banyar-se a la riera i jugar amb el seu company de passeig.

About Kao

What life with Kao looks like

Kao is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Cau Amic in Spain.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kao, answered.

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