Mona

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Mona is a Valsequillera puppy who arrived at our animal shelter pregnant. After having her babies, they quickly became independent, and she stayed behind with us. She is very shy around people, but she has gradually become more comfortable over time. She needs someone willing to work with her to continue improving her sociability with humans. Now, she gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and colors. This little one is the most zen and wise dog at our animal shelter. This little one patiently awaits her chance. Seek advice from our erudite Mona.

About Mona

What life with Mona looks like

Mona is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at ADA Gran Canaria in Gran Canaria.

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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mona, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mona?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ADA Gran Canaria handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mona on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mona if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ADA Gran Canaria 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mona 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 Mona 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 ADA Gran Canaria early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mona 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.
