Adopt OTTO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Photo shoots with Otto are always fun as he never sits still but we got there in the end.... Otto is the longest resident of the shelter, he arrived with us in November 2020, that is nearly 5 years ago. He has spent most of his life in the shelter. Even though Otto is a stunning and affectionate, we believe he has not been adopted as he is high-energy, he is calming down but he only gets out of his cage a maximum of 4 times a week. He really needs so much more than this, we do our best for him but we know he needs more than we can give him. Otto has his own kennel fans, Michele and Graham who have kindly sponsored him. Otto's adopter will need to invest some time into training him. He will do anything for a sausage but also enjoys rewards as a fuss. He is highly trainable and we are sure he will repay his adopter every day if they are willing to put on the time and effort.

About OTTO

What life with OTTO looks like

OTTO is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Murcia) in Lips Rescue.

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 OTTO, answered.

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