Obama

Male · Adult · 5 years

Obama is a Bodeguero born in December 2021. He is a dog with a great deal of energy, nervous and restless, but with a heart that only needs time, understanding, and a suitable environment. He arrived with fears that, at times, show up as defensive aggression. He does not do this out of malice, but out of insecurity. Despite this, he gets along very well with other dogs, which shows he has a good foundation to build on and move forward. Obama is not suitable for just any family: he needs active people, with experience or a genuine willingness to learn about canine behavior, who can offer him a stable routine, physical and mental exercise, and, above all, patience. If he is given what he needs, he can become an incredible companion. He is not a lost cause. He is a dog who is waiting for someone to understand him.

Obama es un bodeguero nacido en diciembre de 2021. Un perro con muchísima energía, nervioso, inquieto, pero con un corazón que solo necesita tiempo, comprensión y un entorno adecuado. Llegó con miedos que, en algunos momentos, se traducen en reacciones de agresividad defensiva. No lo hace por maldad, sino por inseguridad. A pesar de esto, se lleva muy bien con otros perros, lo que demuestra que tiene una buena base para trabajar con él y avanzar. Obama no es apto para cualquier familia: necesita personas activas, con experiencia o ganas reales de aprender sobre comportamiento canino, que puedan ofrecerle una rutina estable, ejercicio físico y mental, y, sobre todo, paciencia. Si se le ofrece lo que necesita, puede convertirse en un compañero increíble. No es un caso perdido. Es un perro que está esperando a que alguien lo entienda.

About Obama

What life with Obama looks like

Obama is an adult dog waiting at Centro de Protección Animal de Parla 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 Obama, answered.

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