How do I adopt an animal from Fundacion Altarriba?

Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Fundacion Altarriba directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Fundacion Altarriba handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor. 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.

Can I adopt from Fundacion Altarriba if I live in another country?

Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. Fundacion Altarriba typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.

Is Fundacion Altarriba a verified shelter on TailHarbor?

Fundacion Altarriba is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.

What is the adoption fee at Fundacion Altarriba?

TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Fundacion Altarriba directly. Typical fees in Spain cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Fundacion Altarriba via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
