How do I contact the shelter about PLUTO?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ADALA Zaragoza handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw PLUTO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt PLUTO if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ADALA Zaragoza 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 PLUTO 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 PLUTO 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 ADALA Zaragoza early rather than rehoming privately; they know PLUTO 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.

PLUTO

Male · Senior · 10 years

Special Needs: Not suitable for inexperienced people, PLUTO was picked up without a microchip by a private individual who could not take care of him, so we decided to manage his adoption. This was over 9 years ago. PLUTO is a 10-year-old mixed breed of German Shepherd. He is one of the veterans of the animal rescue association. 9 years of going in and out of foster care and back to the shelter. Now he is in foster care with a wonderful family but it is temporary, so if we don't find a permanent home for him before the end of the year, he will continue to cycle through foster care. Although he is an adult dog, he has very high energy and needs a lot of physical activity. He has lived with children in several homes and gets along well with them, as well as with other people. With other dogs, he is somewhat selective, so he would need to be worked with, especially when meeting new dogs on the street. He has not been tested with cats. PLUTO is very protective of his family, which makes him reactive during walks (especially with loud noises, runners...), therefore he is not suitable for inexperienced people. However, his current foster family is working a lot with him and he is making great progress.

- Necesidades especiales: No apto para personas sin experiencia Pluto fue recogido sin chip por un particular que no podía hacerse cargo de él por lo que decidimos gestionar su adopción. De eso hace ya más de 9 años. Pluto es un mestizo de Pastor Alemán de 10 años de edad. Es uno de los veteranos de la protectora. 9 años dando tumbos de la guarde a una casa de acogida y otra vez a la guarde. Ahora está de acogida con una maravillosa familia pero es temporal, por lo que si no encontramos nada para él antes de que acabe el año seguirá dando tumbos. Aunque es un perro adulto, tiene una energía muy alta y necesita gran actividad física. Ha convivido con niños en varias casas y se lleva de maravilla con ellos, así como con el resto de personas. Con otros perros es algo selectivo por lo que habría que trabajar con él, sobre todo a la hora de las presentaciones por la calle. Con gatos no está testado. Pluto es muy protector con su familia, lo que le lleva a ser reactivo durante los paseos ( sobre todo ante ruidos fuertes, corredores...), por lo tanto NO es apto para personas sin experiencia. Sin embargo, en su actual acogida están trabajando mucho con él y está haciendo grandes avances.

About PLUTO

What life with PLUTO looks like

PLUTO is a small senior dog waiting at ADALA Zaragoza in Zaragoza.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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.
