Nimue

Labrador Retriever · Female

SIZE: MEDIUM-LARGE HEALTH: GOOD. Has hypothyroidism and is managed with Euthryrox 300mg every 12 hours. TEMPERAMENT: She is a very calm and affectionate dog with people. She has been with us for several years and that is her safe zone, so she handles it better than in new places. She usually doesn't have problems with dogs when she goes without a leash and in open spaces as long as they are not too heavy. She usually gets along better with males and groups of 2 or 3 dogs. She walks very well on a leash at the shelter, doesn't pull, listens to the call, is very attentive to the companion, sniffs a lot, and is very obedient. However, she doesn't do so well in the urban area because there are many stimuli and the sounds like fireworks, thunder, loud noises, or engine sounds scare her. She is very clean and orderly in her kennel enclosure. She is sociable with dogs and plays with them. She needs a very calm home, she could stay alone without problems less during stormy or loud times. She needs a good adaptation and a calm and respectful family towards her. She is in the Invisible Stars program, with adoption at no cost. Nimue was wandering alone in the fields of Castilla… We don't know anything about her history, but you can be part of her future. She had been on the streets for a few months, and we were keeping an eye on her. When we picked her up, her gaze told us she was tired of aimless wandering… It was as if she was waiting for us. She was exhausted!! Now she has the opportunity to find happiness… Do you want to share her with her? Write to Nimue at our shelter for more information.

TAMAÑO: MEDIANA-GRANDE SALUD: BUENA. Tiene hipotiroidismo y se le controla con eutirox 300mg c/12h. CARÁCTER: Es una perra muy tranquila y cariñosa con la gente. Lleva varios años con nosotros y esa es su zona de seguridad, por lo que lo gestiona mejor que en sitios nuevos. No suele tener problemas con perros cuando va sin correa y en espacios abiertos mientras que no sean muy pesados. Se suele llevar mejor con machos, y los grupos, de 2 o 3 perros. Pasea muy bien con correa en el refu, no tira de ella, hace caso a la llamada y va muy pendiente del acompañante, olisquea mucho y es muy obediente. En cambio, la zona urbana no la lleva tan bien puesto hay muchos estímulos y los ruidos como los petardos, truenos, ruidos fuertes o de motor le asustan. Es muy limpia y ordenada en su chenil. Es sociable con perros y juega con ellos. Necesita una casa muy tranquila, se podría quedar sola sin problemas menos en tiempos de tormentas o ruidos fuertes. Necesita un buena adaptación y una familia tranquila y respetuosa hacia ella. Está en el programa de Estrellas Invisibles, con adopción a coste 0. Nimue vagaba sola por los campos de Castilla… No sabemos nada de su historia, pero tu puedes formar parte de su futuro. Llevaba en la calle unos meses, y estuvimos pendientes de ella. Cuando la recogimos su mirada nos decía que estaba cansada de vagar sin rumbo… Era como si estuviera esperándonos. ¡¡Estaba agotada!! Ahora es su oportunidad de encontrar la felicidad… Quieres compartirla con ella? Escríbenos a Apadrinada por: Cristina Jimenez, Marta Jul, Max Gazulla y Montse Trilles

About Nimue

What life with Nimue looks like

Nimue is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SOS Golden 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 Nimue, answered.

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