How do I contact the shelter about TIMMY?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAN — Protectora d handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw TIMMY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt TIMMY if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAN — Protectora d 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 TIMMY 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 TIMMY 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 APAN — Protectora d early rather than rehoming privately; they know TIMMY 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 (CA). 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.

TIMMY

Mixed Breed · Male

Timmy arrived with an advanced case of leishmaniasis. When he entered the animal shelter (last photo), the disease was affecting his eyes, ears and even his joints. It has been a long process, but little by little he has overcome it, and now finally you can see the beautiful dog that was behind all that, with a healthier and stronger body. However, there is still the most important part: healing his soul. He is a playful, mischievous and very curious dog, who feels much more secure with the company of other dogs. They are his reference and help him deal with what still scares him. With people he is still not very trusting. He does not let himself be touched or wear a harness to go for a walk; he needs time, space and for us to respect his pace. We know that when he arrives at a calm home and feels safe, he will take the step. He just needs someone who knows how to look beyond his barks and his fears, and who understands all the journey he has already made. Since he still doesn't go for walks, we haven't been able to test him with cats. What we do know for sure is that the stimuli of a city would be too much for him, so we are looking for a family in a rural or very quiet environment, where he can live calmly and continue gaining trust. Timmy has already won the hardest battle. Now he just needs to find that place where he can finally feel at home. If you think you could be that person, come and meet him.

TIMMY QUINS PASSOS HAS DE SEGUIR PER ADOPTAR-ME? Dia 1: Emplena el qüestionari Dia 2: Entrevista per whatsapp Dia 3: Visita al refugi (amb cita prèvia) Dia 4: Formalitza l'adopció Els animals s'entreguen vacunats, desparasitats, xipats i esterilitzats. En cas d'entregar-se l'animal sense esterilitzar per l'edat, l'adoptant es compromet a portar-lo per fer l'esterilització a l'edat adequada. Per a més informació clica al botó ADOPTA'M En Timmy va arribar amb una leishmània molt avançada. Quan va entrar al refugi (última foto), la malaltia li afectava els ulls, les orelles i fins i tot les articulacions. Ha estat un procés llarg, però a poc a poc l’ha anat superant, i ara per fi es pot veure el gos preciós que hi havia darrere de tot allò, amb un cos més sa i fort. Encara queda, però, la part més important: curar la seva ànima. És un gos divertit, trapella i molt tafaner, que se sent molt més segur amb la companyia d’altres gossos 🐕 Ells són el seu referent i l’ajuden a gestionar el que encara li fa por. Amb les persones encara no és gaire confiat. No es deixa tocar ni posar l’arnès per sortir a passejar; necessita temps, espai i que respectem el seu ritme. Sabem que, quan arribi a una llar tranquil·la i se senti segur, farà el pas. Només necessita algú que sàpiga mirar més enllà de les seves corredisses i dels seus lladrucs de por, i que entengui tot el camí que ja ha recorregut. Com que encara no passeja, no l’hem pogut provar amb gats. El que sí tenim clar és que els estímuls d’una ciutat serien massa per a ell, així que busquem una família en un entorn rural o molt tranquil 🌿, on pugui viure amb calma i continuar guanyant confiança. En Timmy ja ha guanyat la batalla més difícil. Ara només li falta trobar aquell lloc on sentir-se, per fi, a casa 🏡 Si creus que pots ser tu, vine a conèixer-lo. I si no pots adoptar, comparteix la seva història perquè arribi a qui sí que pugui 🐾 QUINS PASSOS HAS DE SEGUIR PER ADOPTAR-ME?

About TIMMY

What life with TIMMY looks like

TIMMY is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAN — Protectora d 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.
