Adopt Loco

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 10 years

Loco was found on the street; it had a microchip but we couldn't contact the owners. After two years at the animal shelter, we finally managed to get in touch with them. Despite promising to come and get him and all the other excuses they gave, they never showed up to even see him and signed the surrender form because they don't want him. Loco is a charming and very affectionate dog. Whenever you enter his cage to clean or do anything, he always rushes to you and wraps his arms around you, seeking affection with licks. As for his character with other dogs, he has lived with some females but we had to separate them because Loco is dominant over food (with dogs and people). He is incompatible with cats; when he sees them, he focuses on them and gets very agitated. We hope he finally has some luck; Loco deserves it.

Loco fue encontrado en la calle, tenía microchip pero no se podía contactar con los propietarios, después de dos años en el albergue hemos podido hablar con ellos y tras darnos largas con que iban a venir a por él y demás, finalmente no han venido ni siquiera a verlo y han firmado la cesión porque no lo quieren. Loco es un perro encantador y muy cariñoso. Cuando entras a su jaula a limpiar o cualquier cosa siempre se te echa encima y te abraza dándote lametones en busca de cariño. En cuanto a su carácter con otros perros, ha convivido con alguna hembra, pero tuvimos que separarlos porque Loco es dominante con la comida (con perros y personas). Es incompatible con gatos, cuando los ve se enfoca mucho en ellos y se altera bastante. Esperamos que tenga suerte por fin, Loco se lo merece.

About Loco

What life with Loco looks like

Loco is a senior pit bull terrier dog waiting at Protectora Oriolana 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 Loco, answered.

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