Urgent adoption or foster care needed! Hello everyone! This is Poppy. It’s been a few months since you’ve seen me around here, and there’s a really lovely reason for that: I’ve been living in a foster home, enjoying a deeply happy life. Unfortunately, that chapter is coming to an end, and in August, it’s time for me to return to the shelter. I know full well that my dear volunteers are waiting for me there with open arms—and I’m so grateful to them from the bottom of my heart—but I can’t help thinking about my future. You see, I’m already an older dog (I really don’t like the word “old”—because only things get old!). At my age, all I’d really love is to keep enjoying the warmth of a loving home. What am I like? A very calm dog. My favorite activities? I absolutely love sleeping peacefully, taking a leisurely stroll now and then, and above all, welcoming my humans home with my biggest smile and a big wag of my tail. Because of all this, I’m available for a new foster home or for adoption. Adoption... what a wonderfully beautiful word! For now, I’ll say goodbye. I hope someone reads this, their heart softens just a little, and they’ll soon get in touch with Aloia Protectora de Animais to give me the chance I need. With lots of love and a little lick, Poppy Call, ask, adopt:

Urge adopción o acogida ¡Hola a todos! Aquí Poppy. Hace unos meses que no me veis por aquí y eso tiene una explicación muy bonita: he estado en una casa de acogida viviendo una vida profundamente feliz. Desgraciadamente, esa etapa llega a su fin y en agosto me toca volver al refugio. Sé de sobra que allí mis queridos voluntarios me esperan con los brazos abiertos —y se lo agradezco de todo corazón—, pero no puedo evitar pensar en mi futuro. Veréis, ya soy un perro mayor (no me gusta nada la palabra «viejo», ¡porque viejas son las cosas!). A mi edad, lo que más quisiera es poder seguir disfrutando del calor de un hogar. ¿Cómo soy? Un perro muy tranquilo. Mis aficiones: Me encanta dormir plácidamente, dar algún paseo relajado y, sobre todo, recibir a mis humanos cuando llegan a casa con la mejor de mis sonrisas y un buen meneo de rabo. Por todo esto, estoy disponible para una nueva acogida o para una adopción. Adopción… ¡qué palabra tan sumamente bonita! Sin más, me despido por ahora. Ojalá alguien lea esto, se le ablande un poquito el corazón y pronto os pongáis en contacto con Aloia Protectora de Animais para darme la oportunidad que necesito. Con mucho cariño y un lengüetazo, Poppy Llama, pregunta, adopta:

About Poppy

What life with Poppy looks like

Poppy is a medium-sized mixed breed dog waiting at Aloia Protectora in Tui.

A 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 often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Poppy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Poppy?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Aloia Protectora handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Poppy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Poppy if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Aloia Protectora whether they will for Poppy, what they require (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 Poppy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Poppy. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Aloia Protectora, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Poppy isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Aloia Protectora about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Poppy 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.
