Arco

Golden Retriever · Male · Adult · 6 years

Arco is a 6-year-old, neutered male dog who is friendly with everyone and everything. He is also very social when in contact with fellow animals. He has a mild resource guarding issue with food around other dogs. Therefore, we would like him to have a single occupancy place without any other dogs. He does not show this problem with people. Arco loves to cuddle and spend time with his people. Who would like to give Arco a new home?

DE·Show original

Arco ist ein 6 Jahre alter, kastrierter Rüde der sich bei uns zu allem und jedem freundlich zeigt. Im Kontakt mit Artgenossen zeigt er sich ebenfalls sehr sozial. Er hat eine leichte Ressourcenthematik mit Futter bei Artgenossen. Deswegen wünsche wir uns für ihn einen Einzelplatz ohne weitere Hunde. Bei Menschen zeigt er diese Problematik nicht. Arco liebt es zu kuschen und Zeit mit seinen Menschen zu verbringen. Wer möchte Arco ein neues zu Hause schenken?

About Arco

What life with Arco looks like

Arco is a adult golden retriever dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. in Germany.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Arco, answered.

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