Nico

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male

Nico is a affectionate, obedient, and playful dog who gets along well with everyone. At first, he may be a bit shy, but soon he lets his softer side come out. He’s one of those dogs that forms a special bond with his family. For adoption, the interested person must obtain in advance the License for the Keeping and Training of Potentially Dangerous Dogs in the municipality where they are registered. We will inform the animal shelter about the steps that need to be followed. To compensate for the cost of the license, adoptions of potentially dangerous dogs of breeds at the Peluts animal shelter are discounted by 80%.

CA·Show original

El Nico és un gos afectuós, obedient i divertit que s'entén bé amb tothom. Al principi pot mostrar-se una mica tímid, però ben aviat deixa sortir el seu costat més tendre. És d'aquells gossos que creen un vincle especial amb la seva família. Per a l’adopció és necessari que l’interessat/da obtingui prèviament la Llicència per a la tinença i conducció de gossos potencialment perillosos al municipi on estigui empadronat/da. Al refugi l’informarem sobre els passos que s’han de seguir. Per a compensar els costos de la llicència, les adopcions dels gossos de races potencialment perilloses al Refugi dels Peluts estan bonificades al 80%.

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a medium-sized adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at El Refugi dels Peluts (Lleida) 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 Nico, answered.

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