Lenny

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Lenny is a handsome, large young dog who arrived at the shelter after being found roaming together with his friend Lusky. We don't know much about his life before coming to APASA, but he seems to have had limited guidance and still has plenty to learn about life as a companion dog. What stands out immediately is his curious nature and his love of human attention. Lenny enjoys being around people and, despite his young age and lack of training, he is a fairly calm and good-natured dog. He loves getting out for his walks, as well as having the opportunity to run, play and explore. He can still pull a little on the lead, but he is already improving and responds well to the attention and guidance he is receiving. Lenny would probably be happiest in a house with a secure garden, where he has room to move and play. Most importantly, he needs people who have plenty of time for him and are willing to continue his training, give him new experiences and include him in everyday family life. With patience, attention and consistent guidance, we think Lenny has all the ingredients to become a lovely and loyal family companion. He is still discovering what is expected of him, but his curiosity, calm nature and enthusiasm for human company give him a great foundation.

About Lenny

What life with Lenny looks like

Lenny is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at APASA Xabia in Xabia.

A young 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lenny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lenny?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APASA Xabia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lenny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lenny if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APASA Xabia 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lenny 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 Lenny 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 APASA Xabia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lenny 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.
