Tábata

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Tabata Date of birth: 18/05/2024 We took in Tabata because we were told she had injuries to her hips and one leg. As soon as we heard her story, we didn't hesitate. It seems this princess was hit by a car and was found that way. The little one weighs 17 kg. Once at the vet, we were told that not only is one leg affected, but both are. Her left hind leg has a fracture in the middle of the femur with displacement and has already formed a callus, so it can't be operated on anymore, but the leg is usable and will undergo rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles. On the other hand, her right hind leg has a hip dislocation, broken femoral head and broken patella, with muscle hypertrophy, and that muscle is no longer recoverable, so she has a stump leg that affects her movements and forces postures of the hip and spine to walk with the other leg. Therefore, the best option according to the vets was to operate and amputate her right hind leg to achieve a better quality of life, avoid pain and improve her mobility. Our little Tabata is a champion who has had a bad past, hence the fears she has, but as soon as she sees a friendly hand, she becomes very affectionate. She is a border collie who needs a home where she can be happy, forget the past and show that a three-legged dog can live the same life as one with four 🧡

TÁBATA Fecha de nacimiento: 18/05/2024Nos hemos hecho cargo de Tábata porque nos avisaron de que tenía heridas en las caderas y una pata mal. En cuanto nos contaron su caso, no lo dudamos. Parece que esta princesa sufrió un atropello y la recogieron así. La pequeña pesa 17 kg. Una vez en el veterinario nos dijeron que no sólo tiene una pata afectada, si no las dos. Su pata izquierda trasera tiene fractura en la mitad del fémur con desplazamiento y ya ha formado callo, por lo que no se puede operar ya, pero la pata ha quedado utilizable y se hará rehabilitación para fortalecer la musculatura. En cambio su pata trasera derecha tiene luxación de cadera, rota la cabeza del fémur y rota la unión con la rotula, a mayores los músculos tienen hipertrofia y ya no es recuperable ese músculo, por lo que le queda una pata palo que le perjudica los movimientos y fuerza posturas de cadera y columna para andar con la otra pata. Por lo que la mejor opción de acuerdo a los veterinarios era operarla y amputarle su pata trasera derecha para conseguir que tenga mejor calidad de vida, evitar dolores y mejorar su movilidad. Nuestra pequeña Tábata es una campeona que ha tenido un mal pasado, de ahí los miedos que tiene, pero en cuanto ve una mano amiga se vuelve hiper cariñosa. Es una border collie que necesita una casa donde ser feliz, olvidar el pasado y demostrar que una perra de 3 patas puede hacer la misma vida que uno de cuatro 🧡

About Tábata

What life with Tábata looks like

Tábata is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Propatas in Spain.

An young 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 Tábata, answered.

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