RUDOLF

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Rudolf is an energetic, happy greyhound who loves to discover the outside world. He also loves to run around and play, either with the other dogs or toys. He is often just bouncing around, hoping someone will play with him. When he first came into the kennels he was extremely nervous, thin and had quite a few scars. Rudolf had been seen running around locally for a few weeks. Locals had tried to approach him but he growled, showed his teeth and then fled. He really didn’t want to be caught. We had a stroke of luck just before Christmas 2022, as he had run into a local farmers yard. Although he was trying to jump the fence of the yard, we managed to corner him and catch him. He was very unsure for a week or two but after that he became a completely different boy and turned into the bouncy boy he is today. Although he can still be a little unsure of new people. He really is full of character and full of love and would make a great addition for the right family. He was adopted and returned after 4 months as it was not working out with his new owner, so he needs to find a family who will love him and give him the time he needs. Like all our adult dogs he is fully vaccinated with a passport, microchipped, sterilized, blood tested and receives treatment for fleas and ticks, deworming and prevention of the heartworm.

About RUDOLF

What life with RUDOLF looks like

RUDOLF is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SAT Animal Rescue Torrevieja.

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 RUDOLF, answered.

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