Adopt Puskas

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

We saw the photo of our Puskas in a Galician dog pound last week where they were asking for adoption for him. Galician dog pounds are very tough on the conditions, temperature, and food... We couldn't leave him there and we moved to find foster care for him. The first visit was to the vet, where they gave him a thorough check-up. He seems to be doing well, with typical things of his age. He's adorable, affectionate, and sociable, and we want to help change his life. Contact:

Vimos la semana pasada la foto de nuestro Puskas en una perrera gallega donde pedían adopción para él. Las perreras gallegas son muy muy duras por las condiciones, la temperatura, alimentación... No podíamos dejarlo allí y nos movimos para encontrar acogida para él. La primera visita fue al vete donde le han revisado a fondo. Parece estar bien, con cositas de su edad. Es adorable, cariñoso, sociable y queremos que nos ayudeis a cambiar su vida. Contacto: 667849696

About Puskas

What life with Puskas looks like

Puskas is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina in Spain.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Puskas, answered.

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