Perdita

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

Shy and distrustful at first but very good. She is having a very bad time at the animal shelter. In the cage she shows a lot of anxiety and nervousness. When she arrived at the shelter she was not bad with other dogs, but now she is getting worse around them. With us she is still submissive and affectionate. She was picked up from a police station where she was tied to a post all day and in bad conditions.

Perdita es un poco desconfiada al principio pero muy buena, lo está pasando muy mal en el albergue, en la jaula se muestra muy ansiosa y nerviosa, cuando llegó al albergue no se mostraba mal con otros perros, pero ahora cada vez está peor ante ellos aunque se llevaa mejor con machos. Con nosotros sigue siendo sumisa y cariñosa. Recogida de un decomisa con la policía, donde la tenían atada todo el día a un poste y en malas condiciones.

About Perdita

What life with Perdita looks like

Perdita is an adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Protectora Oriolana 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 Perdita, answered.

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