Libby

Mixed Breed · Female

Introducing Libby. By the sound of things this little dog has had a bad start to life. We have been told by locals she came from a village where she was locked in a cave, hardly ever fed or watered, never cleaned up and spent her days barking and crying for attention. Somehow she escaped and was then hanging around the local village for a few weeks being fed by various people until she was caught and brought into our care. Libby was ttreated for external and internal parasites when she arrived but is well now. She's still quite nervous but will come for a little fuss. She loves treats and is very happy around the other dogs. Maybe she feels safer with them than with people. She has been spayed, had her vaccines and she has her own passport. If you would like any more information about Libby contact Amanda on WhatsApp

About Libby

What life with Libby looks like

Libby is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at APSA 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 Libby, answered.

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