Picota

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Hello, I'm Picota! They found me tied to the door of a house... no one knew where I came from, only that I had been left there, without a word. The local police came to get me and since then I've been waiting for someone to really see me... I was named Picota because of my little eyes, because I had a prolapse in my tear glands - what some call "cherry eye". But don't be scared, it happens to many young dogs and it can be treated. They say I'm a sweetheart and with that look that asks for affection without saying a single word. I just want a home where they don't tie me... but embrace me.

¡Hola, soy Picota!Me encontraron atada en la puerta de una casa… nadie sabía de dónde venía, solo que me habían dejado allí, sin una palabra. La policía local vino a buscarme y desde entonces estoy esperando que alguien me vea… de verdad. Me llamaron Picota por mis ojitos, porque tenía un prolapso en las glándulas lagrimales —lo que algunos llaman “ojo de cereza”—. Pero no te asustes, nos pasa a muchos perros jóvenes y se puede tratar. Dicen que soy un amor y con esa mirada que pide mimos sin decir una sola palabra. Solo quiero un hogar donde no me aten… sino me abracen.

About Picota

What life with Picota looks like

Picota is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Con Alma Protectora in Spain.

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 Picota, answered.

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