Torbellino

Male · Young · 2 years

Torbellino was rescued by our Isabelleke. He was picked up off the street and became one of many at Isabelleke's home. However, he is extremely afraid of people and men. A dog that stood where the broomstick stood, never known happiness, never spoiled, and only received beatings. He is slowly becoming loose for his new foster mom, but there is still a long way to go. This poor guy is a tough project.

Torbellino werd gered door ons Isabelleke Hij werd van de weg geplukt en werd hierdoor eentje van de zovelen bij Isabelleke thuis. Echter hij is extreem bang van mensen en mannen. Een hondje dat stond waar de bezemsteel stond, nooit geluk gekend, nooit verwend geweest en alleen maar slaag gekregen. Hij komt stilletjes aan los voor zijn nieuwe opvangmama maar hier is nog een lange weg te gaan. Deze stakkerd is een zwaar projectje.

About Torbellino

What life with Torbellino looks like

Torbellino is a young adult dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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 Torbellino, answered.

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