How do I contact the shelter about NICO?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Huellas Callejeras 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 — Huellas Callejeras 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 Huellas Callejeras 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 (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.

NICO

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

NICO arrived at our shelter as a puppy. He was adopted a few years ago when he was just a few months old, but this year he returned to the animal shelter as his legal guardians could no longer take care of him. He has lived on a piece of land for these years, so he hasn't had the chance to socialize with other dogs or go for walks. We are working with him, and he has made great progress since his arrival. He walks normally now, already obeys some commands, and gets along with other dogs. However, he still has some fears and is a bit territorial, which we need to continue working on. Despite the significant improvement in his behavior, NICO needs a family that can help him overcome the insecurities he still has, but with dedication, we are confident he can manage. He is a large, shy, and calm dog who enjoys petting and walks. He is healthy, microchipped, neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed. We are looking for an adoption home for NICO with a family that can dedicate all the love and attention he needs.

Nico llegó a nosotros siendo un cachorro. Fue adoptado hace unos años con tan solo unos meses de vida, pero este año volvió al refugio, ya que sus responsables legales ya no podían hacerse cargo. Ha vivido en un terreno durante estos años, por lo que no ha tenido la oportunidad de socializar con otros perros o salir a pasear. Estamos trabajando con él y ha progresado mucho desde su llegada. Pasea con normalidad, ya obedece ciertas ordenes y convive con otros perros. Sin embargo, sigue con algunos miedos por lo que es un poco territorial, lo que habría que seguir trabajando. A pesar del gran avance que hemos podido ver en su comportamiento, Nico necesita una familia que pueda ayudarlo a superar las inseguridades que todavía le quedan, pero que con dedicación estamos seguros que podrá sobrellevar. Es un perro grande, tímido y tranquilo, pero al que le gustan las caricias y los paseos. Está sano, chipado, esterilizado, vacunado y desparasitado. Buscamos un hogar de adopción para Nico con una familia que pueda dedicarle todo el cariño y atención que necesita.

About NICO

What life with NICO looks like

NICO is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Huellas Callejeras in Spain.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸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.
