VELA

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Vela, a beautiful and friendly mare, entered our shelter in October 2021. Fortunately, Vela's life hasn't been as bad as others. She was raised from a foal in a home where she felt loved and valued. But all good things come to an end. Before she was locked in a stable for life due to lack of time, her family decided to give her to us in search of a good future. She came to our hands, looking for a retirement place where she could be happy for the rest of her life. From the beginning, we were amazed at how quickly she got used to the shelter. She immediately made friends with the rest of the herd, and surprisingly, it seems like she's been by our side all her life. At her age, she's a happy filly. She loves to whinny and trot through the meadows with her companions, and she's an expert at stealing food with maximum happiness. She's always happy, cheerful, and playful. She's very gentle, docile, and manageable. Ideal for living with children nearby or with people without experience. She was lucky to find us, and we were lucky to enjoy her company. She's currently up for adoption, but she'll only leave if we find her ideal home. That home where she'll be loved and respected as only she deserves. # Adopt VELA and Save Her Life # 🐾 Sponsor VELA from just €5/month 🐾

Entrada a Prote: Octubre 2021 Por suerte, podemos decir que Vela no ha tenido tan mala vida como otros. Fue criada desde potra en un hogar, donde se sentía querida y valorada. Pero todo lo bueno se acaba. Y antes de que quedase encerrada en un establo de por vida, por falta de tiempo, su familia decidió cedérnosla en busca de un buen futuro. Así llegó a nuestras manos, buscando un sitio de retiro donde ser feliz lo que le quede de vida. Desde el principio nos asombramos de lo rápido que se ha acostumbrado al refugio. Enseguida ha hecho migas con el resto de la manada, y sorprendentemente parece que lleva toda la vida a nuestro lado. A sus años es toda una potrilla feliz. Le encanta relinchar y trotar por los prados junto a sus compañeros, y es toda una experta en robar comida con una felicidad máxima. Está todo el rato contenta, jovial y divertida. Es muy mansa, dócil y manejable. Ideal para vivir con niños cerca o con gente sin manejo. Ha tenido la suerte de encontrarnos, y nosotros la suerte de disfrutar de su compañía. Actualmente está en adopción, pero solo marchará si encontramos su hogar ideal. Ese hogar donde la quieran y respeten como sólo ella se merece. # Adopta a VELA y Salva Su Vida # 🐾 Apadrina a VELA desde sólo 5€/mes 🐾

About VELA

What life with VELA looks like

VELA is a small adult mixed breed horse waiting at DogHorseCity in Toledo.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting VELA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about VELA?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. DogHorseCity handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw VELA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt VELA if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a horse can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask DogHorseCity what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is VELA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a horse comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask DogHorseCity directly what is included and what VELA still needs.
What happens if VELA 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 DogHorseCity early rather than rehoming privately; they know VELA 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.
