Rooky

Labrador Retriever · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Mix of Labrador with Briard, 10 years old. He has a minor skin condition that is already improving and is not contagious. In fact, the analysis shows that he is very healthy. But his owner must have thought it wasn't worth treating him and abandoned him. He is very good-natured and […]

About Rooky

What life with Rooky looks like

Rooky is a senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Asociación El Hocico 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 Rooky, answered.

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