Adopt Nuestro querido WALTER

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

WALTER was born, approximately, in December 2017. This caramel prince is now part of the family at our shelter, where we will provide the necessary care until he finds his permanent family, where he will be loved and treated as he deserves. To ADOPT WALTER, press the button or access the end of the page where you will find the contact form and all the information about the process. His owner left for a foreign country without looking back, leaving two dogs and a cat to fend for themselves. The other dog and cat were rehomed, but our friend WALTER did not have that luck. He spent the past months in a small courtyard on a provisional basis while a place for him was being found. Now, fortunately for WALTER, he is part of the animal shelter, where he will wait for that family that will never abandon him again. A pet is a responsibility that many people still do not understand, but we will try to change the lives and continue offering new opportunities to the animals we can. If you cannot adopt but want to help another one of our dogs or cats enjoy a family life in a home with all their needs met, and give them lots of love while their permanent family is found, BECOME A FOSTER CARE HOME. Access all the information through this button or fill out the form you will see below and we will tell you everything you need to know. WALTER is a mixed breed of medium size. With people, WALTER is a friendly, affectionate, obedient, and docile dog who walks very well on a leash. However, at the animal shelter, he shows extreme nervousness and agitation, especially in the presence of other dogs. We know that the animal shelter, especially for some dogs that have already lived several years in a house, is a very radical change and a hostile environment that often does not favor the display of the true character of the animal. Currently, due to this state of anxiety and agitation, WALTER is not comfortable in the presence of other dogs. It would be ideal for him to find a foster care home where he can relax. Veterinary aspects WALTER is delivered with a microchip, passport, up-to-date vaccinations, and a negative disease test. Additionally, he is neutered. If you want to adopt WALTER, contact us and we will tell you how to do it. You can contact us via email or fill out the form you will see below if you have any doubts or want to know more about him. We will be happy to tell you everything you need to know. Your name (required) Your email (required)

WALTER nació, aproximadamente, en Diciembre de 2017. Este príncipe de caramelo forma parte desde hoy de la familia del refugio, donde le brindaremos los cuidados necesarios hasta que encuentre a su familia definitiva, donde sea querido y tratado como se merece. Para ADOPTAR a WALTER pulsa el botón o accede al final de la página donde encontrarás el formulario de contacto y toda la información acerca del procedimiento. Su dueña se marchó al extranjero, sin mirar atrás, dejando a dos perros y a un gato a su suerte. El otro perro y el gato pudieron ser reubicados pero no hubo esa suerte para nuestro amigo WALTER, que ha pasado estos últimos meses en un pequeño patio de forma provisional mientras se le encontraba un sitio para él. Ahora, por suerte para WALTER, forma parte del refugio, donde esperará a esa familia que nunca vuelva a abandonarlo. Un animal es una responsabilidad que muchas personas todavía no entienden pero nosotros vamos a intentar cambiar la vida y seguir ofreciendo nuevas oportunidades a los animales que podamos. Si no puedes adoptar pero quieres ayudar a otro de nuestros perros o gatos a disfrutar de la vida en familia, en un hogar con todas las necesidades cubiertas, y darle mucho amor mientras aparece su familia definitiva, HAZTE CASA DE ACOGIDA .

Con las personas, WALTER es un perro sociable, cariñoso, obediente y dócil, que pasea muy bien con la correa. Sin embargo, en el refugio, se muestra muy nervioso y agitado especialmente en presencia de otros perros. Sabemos que el refugio, especialmente para algunos perros que ya han vivido varios años en una casa, es un cambio muy radical y un ambiente hostil que muchas veces no favorece que se muestre el verdadero carácter del animal. Actualmente, debido a este estado de ansiedad y agitación, WALTER no se siente cómodo en presencia de otros perros . Sería ideal que pudiera encontrar un hogar de acogida donde pudiera relajarse.

About Nuestro querido WALTER

What life with Nuestro querido WALTER looks like

Nuestro querido WALTER is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at El Refugio Escuela Marlene in Spain.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸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 Nuestro querido WALTER, answered.

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