How do I contact the shelter about LEO?

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 LEO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt LEO 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 LEO 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 LEO 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 LEO 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.

LEO

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Today our good Leo turns 9 years old. Although, to be honest, it’s not really a happy birthday and not really a reason to celebrate. Because today he spends his ninth birthday again or still in our shelter in Calvia. And it’s neither his first, nor his second or third birthday with us – it’s already his sixth birthday here at the SOS Animal Shelter. Unbelievable – but unfortunately it was 😔. Leo is one of those animal welfare dogs that are somehow always forgotten and overlooked – perhaps it’s simply because of this incredibly long time. Every single one of his caregivers loves and supports him. In the meantime, Leo has of course gotten on in years – he has become calmer and more relaxed – and has somehow come to terms with the situation at the shelter – because he had no other choice. A first family who never really wanted him – passed on to other unsuitable people – given to the Perrera Natura Park – then the next short, completely unsuitable adoption – given to the Perrera Calvià – and then the change to us – that describes Leo’s life so far in a nutshell. He had the chance to find a really good family with us a long time ago. There were many meetings at our place to get to know each other (and it worked out great) and then the move to the really dog-experienced couple on the island – accompanied by a trainer. But after a while, our impressive Leo decided that he only wanted the woman by his side – and no matter what we tried, it didn’t work. And so Leo had to come back to us from there too. He needs calm, dog-experienced people at his side who will take him as he is, give him time and space, not have too high expectations of him and clearly accept his history and our many years of experience with him. A single person or a couple, but in any case without children, would be ideal. A lot of back and forth and excitement, e.g. due to lots of visitors, would not be for Leo. He should also be allowed to live as an only dog for the time being and in any case WITHOUT cats. Leo is not generally incompatible with other dogs, but experience has shown that he simply needs his own space. With “his” people – including people he really trusts – he is a really great, extremely gentle and affectionate male dog who loves going for walks and spending time together and is also very easy to handle. We think it would be best if Leo could stay on the island and potential adopters could get to know him and build trust by visiting him several times at the shelter. Many other animal welfare stories have shown us that you should never give up. And we will never do that for our LEO either. Congratulations “big one” ❤ We are still looking for “your chance” 🙏

About LEO

What life with LEO looks like

LEO is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Animal Mallorca.

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.
