MENCHU

Mixed Breed · Female

MENCHU She is one of the cases that breaks our hearts the most. She is a dog full of love and affection, very loving with people she knows, who was adopted some time ago and was returned. She is a dog that needs dedication and commitment, with a lot of work and consistency in her training. When left alone she has interior design impulses 😅 but we are sure that with work anything is possible. Still, we are looking for a family that has the ability, desire and commitment to work with the help of a trainer if necessary. She doesn't really like visits to strangers' homes and gets very nervous, but at the animal shelter she has never had any problems with anyone inside or during visits. Even though you see a beautiful dog, she really thinks she's a mermaid and loves to get into all the basins 💧 and tubs she finds while swimming. And if you throw her a stick, she will be the happiest dog in the world. ❤️ She loves long walks in the mountains, so she is the ideal companion if you enjoy nature adventures. She walks 10 and does not react to any other dogs or people she meets, provided they are not running or on a bike! She doesn't like them at all, she says she prefers people to walk calmly! 🏘️ We think a quiet home in an outdoor space where she can have fun would be ideal for her, although she might end up living in the city eventually, where she would be more comfortable and it would be easier to work on her insecurities in a rural and calm environment. ❗Menchu is potentially a jumper (PPP), so whoever adopts her will need the appropriate license. She knows how to walk on a leash without any problem 🐶 With other dogs she doesn't quite understand, although she has been improving over time and at the animal shelter she gets along with some companions. 🐱 With cats we believe she will have no problems. 💊 She is negative for leishmania. You can learn more about her on her own Instagram profile:

MENCHU QUINS PASSOS HAS DE SEGUIR PER ADOPTAR-ME? Dia 1: Emplena el qüestionari Dia 2: Entrevista per whatsapp Dia 3: Visita al refugi (amb cita prèvia) Dia 4: Formalitza l'adopció Els animals s'entreguen vacunats, desparasitats, xipats i esterilitzats. En cas d'entregar-se l'animal sense esterilitzar per l'edat, l'adoptant es compromet a portar-lo per fer l'esterilització a l'edat adequada. Per a més informació clica al botó ADOPTA'M Ella és un dels casos que més ens trenca el cor. És una gossa plena d’amor i carinyo, molt afectuosa amb qui coneix, que va ser adoptada fa un temps i la van retornar. És una gossa que necessita dedicació i compromís, amb molt treball i constància en la seva educació. Quan es queda sola té impulsos de decoradora d’interiors 😅 però estem segurs que amb treball tot es pot aconseguir. Tant mateix, cerquem per ella una família que tingui la capacitat, ganes i compromís de treballar amb l’ajuda d’un educador si arribés a ser necessari. En principi no li agraden gaire les visites a casa de desconeguts i es posa molt nerviosa, però al refugi no ha tingut mai cap problema amb ningú intern ni amb visites. Tot i que veieu una gosa preciosa, ella realment es pensa que és una sirena i li encanta ficar-se a tots els basalts 💧 i tolls que troba a nedar. I si a sobre li llences un pal serà la gossa més feliç del món. ❤️ 🐕Li encanta fer passejades llargues per la muntanya, per el que és la companya ideal si el que t’agrada son les escapades per la natura. Passeja de 10 i no reacciona a cap altre gos ni persones que es troba, això si, sempre que no vagin corrent o en bici! No li agraden gens, diu que prefereix que la gent camini tranquila! 🏘️ Creiem que seria ideal per ella una llar a un entorn tranquil i amb espai exterior on esbargir-se, tot i que segurament amb el temps podria acabar vivint a ciutat, estarà més còmode i es podrà treballar millor les seves inseguretats en un entorn rural i tranquil. ❗La Menchu és una gossa potencialment petonera (ppp) per el que caldrà que qui l’adopti tingui la llicència adient. Ella sap anar amb morrió sense cap tipus de problema 🐶 Amb altres gossos no s'acaba d'entendre gaire, tot i que ha anat millorant amb el temps i al refugi s’avé amb algun company. 🐱Amb els gats creiem que no tindrà cap problema. 💊 És negativa en leishmania.

About MENCHU

What life with MENCHU looks like

MENCHU is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAN — Protectora d 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting MENCHU, answered.

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