How do I contact the shelter about Melek?

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

Can I adopt Melek if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SOS Golden 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 Melek 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 Melek 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 SOS Golden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Melek 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.

Melek

Golden Retriever · Female · Adult · 6 years

DATE OF BIRTH: 16/05/2020 BREED: GOLDEN RETRIEVER mix with SETTER COLOR: WHITE with black spots CHARACTER: She is very sweet and affectionate, but very timid. She was rescued with her sister and cousin from Noah's Ark Syndrome. She is very scared and fearful but is improving day by day, and surely in a controlled, calm environment with the help of a canine trainer and/or caregivers from our animal shelter, she would improve more and could enjoy life fully. Her fear may be the result of mistreatment. She is more timid around men but when she gains confidence, she is a love and very affectionate, outgoing, and intelligent with a lot of energy. Melek is waiting for her chance to be happy and make her family happy. Melek came from a field that had a man with Noah's Ark Syndrome. She came with her sister Irish (already adopted) and Omer (also adopted). They had not been socialized, so all three needed to see the world and Melek is the most timid.

FECHA DE NACIMIENTO: 16/05/2020 RAZA: GOLDEN RETRIEVER mix con SETTER COLOR: BLANCA con pintas negras CARÁCTER: Es muy dulce y cariñosa, pero muy miedosa. Fue rescatada con su hermana y sobrino de un Síndrome de Noé. Es muy asustadiza y temorosa pero va mejorando por días, y seguramente en un entorno controlado, tranquilo y con la ayuda de un educador canino y/o cuidadores de nuestro refugio mejoraría más y podría disfrutar de la vida plenamente. Su miedo es posible de que sea el resultado de malos tratos. Es más asustadiza con los hombres pero cuando coge confianza es un amor y muy cariñosa, extrovertida e inteligente y con mucha energía. Melek espera su oportunidad de ser feliz y hacer feliz a su familia. Melek viene un terreno que tenía un señor con Síndrome de Noé. Vino con su hermana Irish (ya adoptada) y Omer (también adoptado). No habían socializado por lo tanto a los tres les faltaba ver mundo y Melek es la más miedosa. Apadrinada por Vanesa Huesa Si la quieres acoger, adoptar o apadrinar, escríbenos a

About Melek

What life with Melek looks like

Melek is a adult golden retriever dog waiting at SOS Golden 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.
