Nieve

Maltese · Female · Adult · 5 years

Nieve is a small Bichon Maltese, very good and sociable. She has always lived in a breeding facility and doesn't know what it's like to live in a home. She needs to learn everything: walking on a leash, going to the bathroom outside, etc. She gets along with other dogs without any problem. She needs a family that will be involved with her and dedicate time and patience to help her learn to live in a home.

Necesita aprenderlo todo: andar con correa, hacer sus necesidades en la calle, etc. Convive con otros perros sin problema. Necesita una familia que se implique con ella y le dedique tiempo y paciencia para aprender a vivir en un hogar.

About Nieve

What life with Nieve looks like

Nieve is a small adult maltese dog waiting at Fundacion 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 Nieve, answered.

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