Adopt Nancy

Pit Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 8 years

Nancy is one of those dogs who instantly wins hearts. She’s affectionate, full of love, and never short on kisses for her humans. Whether she’s cuddling up or playing joyfully with her beloved brother Oscar, Nancy radiates warmth and joy. She and Oscar have been together since birth. Ideally, we’d love to see them adopted together, they’ve been each other’s only constant through all the ups and downs life has thrown at them. However, we’re open to separate adoptions if it means giving Nancy the fresh start she truly deserves, and we’d support this with a trial period. Nancy had a loving home as a puppy, but life took an unexpected turn. Due to a family breakdown, she and Oscar found themselves back in our care, taken on by another family member but later surrendered to Don Animal, that couldn’t provide the family environment they were used to. We fought hard to bring them back and, thankfully, they’re now safe in kennels. But for a dog like Nancy, who once knew the comfort of a real home, kennel life just doesn’t compare. Despite it all, Nancy remains a happy, confident soul who has never shown a hint of aggression. She’s ready to give her heart to a family willing to give her a second chance—and she deserves nothing less. Because Nancy is classed as a PPP under Spanish law, her adopter must hold a PPP license. But don’t worry, AAR will help guide you through the process and cover the costs. Nancy is neutered, fully vaccinated, passport-ready, chipped and free of Mediterranean diseases. What she’s missing is a soft place to land and someone to love her back. She is 90cm from nose to tail, 45cm tall and weighs 20kg. If you think you could be that special someone for Nancy (and maybe Oscar, too), please get in touch. She's ready to shower you with love, are you ready to receive it? Please contact us if you would like more information on Nancy.

About Nancy

What life with Nancy looks like

Nancy is a medium-sized adult pit bull terrier dog waiting at Axarquia Animal Rescue.

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 Nancy, answered.

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