Adopt MALEFICA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Malefica arrived in May 2022, from Mascotas de Zero (formerly Cereco), an organization we’ve worked with for many years to help rehome dogs. Malefica was an extremely nervous dog when she arrived. It took many, many weeks to build up her confidence with us but she could still be nervous of new people and still can be. She loves to go out for a walk and walks well on the lead but will need a very patient and understanding family who if they give her the time and patience will be rewarded with a very loving and playful dog. She is fully vaccinated, passported, microchipped, bloodtested, treated for fleas and ticks, dewormed and also heartworm prevention. Another of our gorgeous dogs that have been with us for too long, lets hope to find her, her forever home soon. .kb-image598_63abdd-06 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}

About MALEFICA

What life with MALEFICA looks like

MALEFICA is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at SAT Animal Rescue Torrevieja.

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 MALEFICA, answered.

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