Vera

Podenco · Female

My name is Vera, and I am a beautiful Podenco. They say humans use Podencos for hunting, I come from far away, from Huelva, in the shelter where I lived before suffered a lot of damage from the storms and they brought us here, to Alcalá. I am very affectionate and I hope my life will not continue here, in a kennel... Will you take me with you?

Dicen que los humanos utilizan los podencos para cazar, yo vengo de lejos, de Huelva, en la protectora donde vivía antes sufrió mucho daño por las tormentas y nos trajeron aquí, a Alcalá. Soy muy cariñosa y tengo la esperanza de que mi vida no seguirá aquí, en un chenil… ¿Me llevas contigo?

About Vera

What life with Vera looks like

Vera is a adult podenco dog waiting at Con Alma Protectora 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vera, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vera?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Con Alma Protectora handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Vera on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vera if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Con Alma Protectora 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 Vera 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 Vera 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 Con Alma Protectora early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vera 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
