Adopt Romero

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

The animal arrived at the shelter very scared and distrustful, and was apparently hit by a car. He had been on the street for several days. Since arriving, he has been on bed rest until surgery was performed on his humerus fracture. He wore an external fixator, which was recently removed. He continues to take short walks on a leash and is starting to put weight on his leg.

Llego al albergue muy asustado y desconfiado y supuestamente atropellado. Llevaba varios días en la calle. Desde que llegó ha estado en reposo hasta que se intervino de la fractura de húmero. Ha llevado un fijador externo y hace poco se le ha retirado. El sigue con paseos a correa cortos y empieza a apoyar la pata.

About Romero

What life with Romero looks like

Romero is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Oriolana in Spain.

An 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 Romero, answered.

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