Roxo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Roxo is a small dog with a huge heart and seemingly endless energy. He arrived at the shelter very thin and tests positive for leishmaniasis, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying every single day with contagious enthusiasm. He absolutely loves people, constantly seeks human contact, and never says no to a good cuddle. He’s also sociable with other dogs, although sometimes his enthusiasm can be a bit intense. If you’re looking for a cheerful, affectionate companion eager to live a thousand adventures, Roxo is ready to show you that attitude really is everything.

Roxo es un perro pequeño con un corazón enorme y una energía que parece no tener fin. Llegó al refugio muy delgadito y es positivo en leishmania, pero eso no le impide disfrutar de cada día con una ilusión contagiosa. Le encantan las personas, busca el contacto constantemente y nunca dice que no a unos buenos mimos. Con otros perros también es sociable, aunque a veces su entusiasmo puede ser un poco intenso. Si buscas un compañero alegre, cariñoso y con ganas de vivir mil aventuras, Roxo está listo para demostrarte que la actitud lo es casi todo. AMADRINADO POR: Reyes Varela.

About Roxo

What life with Roxo looks like

Roxo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Protectora Os Biosbardos Ponteareas 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 Roxo, answered.

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