Rómulo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Romulo arrived at the shelter on May 5, 2026 and has since shown us that he is not only a beautiful dog, but also has an extraordinary character. He is a noble, affectionate dog and one of those that stand out for all the good things he has inside. His size may be impressive, but what really captivates is his way of being. Saying he is an XL in all the good things is an understatement: a big guy with a huge heart who deserves to find a family that knows how to appreciate everything he has to offer. Now all that's left is for someone to notice him, get to know him, and discover the wonderful dog behind that imposing appearance.

Rómulo llegó a la protectora el 5 de mayo de 2026 y, desde entonces, nos ha demostrado que además de ser un perro hermoso, tiene un carácter extraordinario. Es un perro noble, cariñoso y de esos que destacan por todo lo bueno que llevan dentro. Su tamaño puede llamar la atención, pero lo que realmente enamora es su forma de ser. Decir que es un XL en todo lo bueno se queda corto: un grandullón con un corazón enorme que merece encontrar una familia que sepa valorar todo lo que tiene que ofrecer. Ahora solo falta que llegue esa persona que se fije en él, lo conozca y descubra al maravilloso perro que hay detrás de esa imponente apariencia

About Rómulo

What life with Rómulo looks like

Rómulo is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Villena in Spain.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸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 Rómulo, answered.

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