About NUMA

What life with NUMA looks like

NUMA is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora de Gipuzkoa.

An young 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 NUMA, answered.

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