Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Karmele shares a cage with a male Mariñas. It's been a while since they passed to pavilion C and left loose through the big garden. karmele is fit with other females and males, she is of a submissive character but very afraid. They already get to go on a leash with volunteers they already know. You let yourself play without problem in the cage, if you don't know you can also touch it, but because it's locked in the cage, if it's loose in the yard it's impossible if you don't know the person. They are dogs that have possibly had very little human contact until they get to the center, she would be ideal for a house where more dogs lived. Karmele shares a cage with a male Mariñas.

Karmele comparte jaula con un macho Mariñas. Hace un tiempo que pasaron al pabellón C y salen sueltos por el huerto grande. karmele es apta con otras hembras y machos, ella es de carácter sumiso pero muy miedosa. Ya consiguen salir a pasear a correa con voluntarios que ya conocen. Se deja tocar sin problema en la jaula, si no te conoce también puedes tocarla pero porque se bloquea en la jaula, si esta suelta en el patio es imposible si no conoce a la persona. Son perros que posiblemente han tenido muy poco contacto humano hasta llegar al centro, ella sería ideal para una casa donde vivieran más perros. Karmele shares a cage with a male Mariñas.

About Karmele

What life with Karmele looks like

Karmele is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Oriolana 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 Karmele, answered.

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