Adopt TYSON

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Our gorgeous Tyson, and favourite among many of our volunteers. He was seen being thrown from a car in August 2022, and at the time there was a lot of social media interest in him but sadly nobody offered him a home. Tyson was not good walking on the lead when he arrived, and was also reactive to some dogs. A dog jumping around and pulling on the lead is not a joy to walk either for the dog or the walker, especially a strong 30-kilo one. And definitely not an easy one to home either. Tyson is very intelligent and quick to learn but that also means he is quick to pick up bad habits too. With hours of extra training and with the help of some of our volunteers, he now walks calmly and is much less reactive, but he still thrives on consistent training and mental stimulation. He loves learning new tricks and playing. He also loves being around people, and is a fun, happy and affectionate boy who would make a super companion for the right family. He is around 3 years old, fully vaccinated with passport, microchipped, neutered, blood tested, treated monthly for fleas and ticks, wormed and heartworm prevention.

About TYSON

What life with TYSON looks like

TYSON is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SAT Animal Rescue Torrevieja.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 TYSON, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TYSON?
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 TYSON on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TYSON 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 TYSON 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 TYSON 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 TYSON 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.
