Lady

Mixed Breed · Female

For about a week, the approximately four-year-old Bordercollie mixed-breed dog has been with us in the animal shelter in Calvià. She was terribly frightened creature that I discovered recently in the Perrera Natura Park. We can only guess what Lady has already been through in her life – and that certainly doesn’t include much good. At the forefront is currently her downright panicked fear of men. But also her fear and insecurity about everything that is actually new. At the moment we assume that she probably lived on a finca and was more or less left to herself until she ended up as a vagabond in the Perrera. However Lady is also a very special dog – and certainly a dog with a lot of potential. She is quickly able to build up a really good and intensive relationship of trust with her (currently rather female) caregivers. But everything else outside is just pretty bad for them at the moment. This currently also includes encounters with cars, with other dogs, with cats and many other things that she simply does not really know yet. Therefore this special dog definitely should go to dog-experienced or better of course even breed-experienced people. Especially at the beginning, a female caregiver should be present. Lady will certainly soon realise that she can also trust men – but that takes a lot of time, a lot of peace and a lot of patience. Under no circumstances one should expect too much from her here too quickly. It is also clear that Lady has a lot of Border Collie genes in her – i.e. she absolutely must also be promoted and challenged in this direction. Ladies new people should live in a quiet area and have a fenced garden. Another dog with which she gets along well and on which she can perhaps orient herself – maybe even another Border Collie 😉 – would certainly be an advantage; but of course this is not a must. Lady is a really special dog who just needs time and the right people by her side. Then she will become a wonderful companion through life. She is already neutered, fully vaccinated and tested negative for leishmaniasis. Of course, she can also leave the island.

About Lady

What life with Lady looks like

Lady is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Animal Mallorca.

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 Lady, answered.

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