Adopt ORO

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Oro was one of five dogs we took in from a perrera that was closing down. All of them had been kept in very small kennels and had never been walked, so arriving at our kennels was a big change for them. Oro was in fairly good condition, though he had some matted fur, ticks, and fleas. At first, he wasn’t great on the lead—he would pull and jump around—but this boy has completely transformed over the past few weeks. After a good bath, a trim, and a thorough brush, he looked and felt so much better—and he absolutely loved the attention. Now, Oro enjoys his walks and has made wonderful progress with his lead training. He’s a happy, energetic boy who loves life. He currently shares his pen with two other dogs, and they’re always bounding around and playing together. Oro is also very affectionate and adores human company. He weighs around 21 kilos, is around 3 years old is fully vaccinated, passported, microchipped, bloodtested, castrated, treated for fleas and ticks, dewormed and also heartworm prevented. For more information or for an appointment (appointments only) please contact the kennels directly.

About ORO

What life with ORO looks like

ORO is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SAT Animal Rescue Torrevieja.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 ORO, answered.

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