LIRA

Podenco · Female · Senior · 10 years

A LIRA was surrendered by her family as they were traveling and did not want to take care of her. Her adaptation at the animal shelter was not good, as she was used to being with people and was left abandoned at the shelter. This made her really suffer, to the point of scratching her stall walls until she pulled out her nails. LIRA is a friendly dog who does not create conflicts with other dogs, but is still shy and scared around humans. We are looking for a family for LIRA that can give her the security and confidence her previous owners did not provide. She is a dog that needs A LOT of physical contact and also has a significant separation anxiety. We are looking for a family living in a house-cottage-plot with outdoor areas and high walls. Do you want to adopt our precious LIRA?

A Lira la cedió su familia ya que viajaban fuera y no querían hacerse cargo de ella. Su adaptación en el refugio no fue buena, ya que estaba acostumbrada a estar con personas y se vió abandonada en el refugio. Ésto hizo que lo pasara realmente mal, hasta el punto de arrancarse las uñas por arañar la pared de su box. Lira es una perra sociable que no crea conflictos con otros perros, pero tímida y miedosa aún con humanos. Buscamos para Lira una familia que le dé la seguridad y la confianza que sus antiguos dueños no supieron darle. Es una perra que necesita MUCHO contacto físico y además tiene una ansiedad por separación bastante importante. Buscamos una familia que viva en una casa-chalet- parcela con zonas exteriores y muros altos. ¿Quieres adoptar a nuestra preciosa Lira?

About LIRA

What life with LIRA looks like

LIRA is a large senior podenco dog waiting at Arca de Noé 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 LIRA, answered.

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