How do I contact the shelter about Maxda dana?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ALBA Protectora Madrid handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maxda dana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Maxda dana if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ALBA Protectora Madrid 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 Maxda dana 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 Maxda dana 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 ALBA Protectora Madrid early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maxda dana and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Maxda dana

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Maxda is this beautiful 4.5-year-old shepherd dog. We brought her from Valencia, from an animal shelter that had been destroyed by the DANA. Maxda arrived at ALBA very scared. Slowly, with time and attention, we have seen progress. She is a very curious little dog who loves to explore, so although at first she would block, she now goes for walks in calm environments with a lot of patience and care. She doesn't have a special problem with the harness or leash, her main fear is people. Maxda lives with Rubio, another little dog from Valencia, and she relies a lot on him; she feels much more comfortable in his company and constantly looks for him during walks to feel safe. When we are with her, in the shelter's indoor courtyards where she is loose, Maxda is less inhibited and does approach you timidly to investigate. What does she need? A family willing to give her more time, patience, and affection. She is a fantastic dog that needs to slowly lose her fear and learn to trust people. Another confident dog that can serve as a reference would be beneficial for her. We believe a quiet and not too noisy environment, where she can explore without external overstimulation, would be ideal for her. Leishmania analysis is questionable, according to general analyses, there is no suspicion of Ehrlichia.

Maxda es esta preciosa perrita pastora de 4 años y medio de edad. La trajimos de Valencia, de un refugio de animales que había quedado destruido por la DANA. Maxda llegó a ALBA muy asustada. Poco a poco, dedicándole tiempo y atención ya hemos ido viendo progresos. Es una perrita muy curiosa y a la que le encanta explorar, por lo que aunque al principio se bloqueaba, ya sale a pasear en entornos tranquilos y con mucha calma y paciencia. No tiene especial problema con el arnés ni la correa, su principal temor es hacia las personas. Maxda convive con Rubio, otro perrito que también viene de Valencia, y se apoya mucho en él, se siente mucho más cómoda en su compañía y le busca todo el rato durante el paseo para sentirse segura. Cuando estamos con ella, en los patios interiores del albergue, donde está suelta, Maxda se cohibe menos y sí que se te acerca tímidamente para investigarte. ¿Qué necesita? Pues una familia dispuesta a darle bastante más tiempo, paciencia y cariño. Es una perra fantástica que necesita perder el miedo poco a poco y aprender a confiar en las personas. Otro perro seguro de si mismo que pueda servirle de referente no le vendría nada mal. Creemos que un entorno tranquilo y no muy ruidoso, donde pueda explorar sin sobre estimulación externa, sería lo ideal para ella. Analítica de leishmania dudosa, según analíticas generales no hay sospecha de ehrlichia. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Maxda dana

What life with Maxda dana looks like

Maxda dana is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
