Turka

Mixed Breed · Female

Turks was brought to us from a home in Javea (Xàbia), Alicante, where they were having terrible problems with her behaviour. It turned out that poor Turka has a badly shaped spine and this was causing her terrible pain when she was saddled and trying to take a rider. Hence her ‘bad’ behaviour! Once with us she underwent therapeutic exercises and other work to help make her more comfortable, help change her posture, and strengthen her weaker muscles. These days she is loving living outside in her paddock, where she can enjoy lots of freedom of movement, and can play with all her horsey companions. We will continue with her treatment, using chiropractic work to help her position and see what the future holds for her. She is a lovely girl, enjoys a bit of mischief (as so many of our four-legged friends seem to!) and even if she can’t be ridden, Turka will hopefully find her forever home with a loving family, as a companion horse. If you think Turka would fit into your family, get in touch! Otherwise, you could sponsor her. Visit our donate page to find out more.

About Turka

What life with Turka looks like

Turka is a extra-large adult mixed breed animal waiting at APAC Rescue Horses in Spain.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Turka far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇪🇸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 Turka, answered.

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