How do I contact the shelter about XENA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. AdoptaMur — Murcia Municipal Animal Adoption handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw XENA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt XENA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — AdoptaMur — Murcia Municipal Animal Adoption 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 XENA 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 XENA 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 AdoptaMur — Murcia Municipal Animal Adoption early rather than rehoming privately; they know XENA 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.

XENA

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Young · 3 years

Name of the dog: XENA Breed: American Staffordshire terrier Gender: Female Date of Birth: 15/01/2022 Weight: 22,200 kg Spayed: No Vaccinated: Yes Illnesses, Disabilities, Injuries: No Personality: The History of Xena: Xena has suffered abandonment and emotional stress. She was found and captured after falling into the Reguerón. The veterinarians treated her hind legs, as she initially couldn't move them. X-rays were taken, and fortunately, she had no fractures. Xena is now healed and more calm after the care received from the veterinarians and municipal staff. Xena is sociable, but with other dogs, she has a more assertive personality. Give a loving and forever home to an American Staffy and discover a friend whose loyalty knows no bounds… Xena only needs love and affection. Adopting an American Staffy that has suffered abandonment and carries traumas is an admirable decision that requires patience, understanding, and a long-term commitment. Despite their robust appearance, these dogs are very sensitive. Here are some guidelines if you want to adopt Xena: - Create a "safe animal shelter." - Predictable routine: Abandoned dogs often experienced chaos. A consistent daily routine (meal times, walks, playtime) provides stability and reduces anxiety. Xena is currently more calm. - It's important to be compassionate but set clear and kind boundaries. - Gradual and controlled socialization: If the dog is afraid of other dogs or people, introduce new experiences slowly and positively. For example, start with walks in quiet places and gradually move to busier areas. - Visit the shelter facilities to meet her! She deserves a chance! Leash: Well Energy Level: Medium A license for P.P.P. is required. This doesn't mean they are, in fact, very familiar dogs, although they require good education and socialization: well educated and socialized is an exemplary companion. Break the stereotypes, adopt responsibly, not all P.P.P. are the same, know their story, educate them with love, and discover a wonderful dog. Delivered: Vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped. With free classes for handling and training! Free rabies vaccine for 3 years!
