How do I contact the shelter about ROMA?

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

Can I adopt ROMA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arca de Noé 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 ROMA 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 ROMA 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 Arca de Noé early rather than rehoming privately; they know ROMA 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.

ROMA

Belgian Malinois · Female · Young · 1 year

ROMA was found abandoned in a neighborhood of Seville, and a couple did not hesitate to rescue her. She was found with bloody paws as some callous person dragged her several meters from a motorcycle, causing severe injuries to her paws and pads. This family had her in foster care until she had recovered and was prepared by a veterinarian. But now ROMA is at our shelter, condemned to live locked in a cage, as she escapes our leashes. It breaks our hearts to see her like this, and that's why we are searching for a home for her. She is a very good dog, with a very positive and sociable temperament, getting along well with both male and female dogs. She has not been tested with cats. As a good Malinois Pastor, she is a high-energy dog who loves sports and is very intelligent, so we are looking for a family with experience with this breed. She is not a dog for first-time families, nor for those who want to keep her confined. They need obedience, work, and time. We are searching for a family that will give her a good quality of life and, above all, will dedicate time to her, being willing to work with a dog trainer if necessary.

Roma fue encontrada abandonada en una barriada de Sevilla y una pareja no dudó en rescatarla. Se encontraba con las patas ensangrentadas ya que algún desalmado la arrastró desde una moto varios metros, provocándole graves heridas en sus patas y almohadillas. Esta familia la tuvo de acogida hasta que se ha recuperado y preparado a nivel de veterinario. Pero ahora Roma se encuentra en el refugio, condenada a vivir encerrada en un box, ya que se salta nuestras sueltas. Nos parte el alma verla así y por ello buscamos una casita para ella. Es una perra muy buena, con un carácter muy positivo, sociable con perros ya sean machos o hembras. No está testada con gatos. Como buena Pastora Malinois es una perra de alta energía, le encanta el deporte y es muy inteligente, por lo que buscamos una familia con experiencia en ésta raza. No es una perra para familias primerizas, ni para que vivan encerrados. Necesitan obediencia, trabajo y tiempo. Buscamos una familia que le dé calidad de vida y sobre todo le dedique tiempo, estando dispuesta a trabajar con un adiestrador si fuera necesario.

About ROMA

What life with ROMA looks like

ROMA is a large young adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Arca de Noé in Spain.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
