Podenco · Male · Adult · 5 years

Sex: Male Breed: Podenco Approximate date of birth: 2021 Health: Story/temperament: Nilo is a Podenco about 10 months old who was wandering around the livestock estate, frightened, trembling, and not knowing where to go. He was running aimlessly while cars swerved to avoid him. Finally, he was caught, and he is now safe at the shelter. He is shy, though very good. Nilo just needs time, calm, and affection to learn to trust again. Nilo is still a puppy looking for a home. Contact: refugiosanjorge.com Photos: Link to their Facebook photo album

Sexo: Macho Raza: Podenco Fecha de nacimiento aproximada: 2021 Salud: Historia/carácter : Nilo es un podenco de unos 10 meses que deambulaba por el polígono ganadero, asustado, tembloroso y sin saber donde ir. Corría sin rumbo mientras los coches lo esquivaban. Finalmente se pudo coger y ahora está a salvo en el refugio. Es tímido, aunque muy bueno. Nilo sólo necesita tiempo, tranquilidad, y cariño para que vuelva a confiar. Nilo es todavía un cachorro que busca un hogar. Contacto refugiosanjorge. com Fotos: Enlace a su álbum de Facebook

About Nilo

What life with Nilo looks like

Nilo is an adult podenco dog waiting at Refugio San Jorge 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nilo, answered.

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