ARGOS

Mixed Breed · Male

Argos is another hunting discard. When he stopped hunting well, he was thrown into the shelter like a common waste. A sad story that repeats itself over and over. On his face and ears are the scars of a long life of suffering, devoid of warmth and the slightest tenderness... And yet, Argos is a lovable dog, like all galgos. All he wants is love, attention, and caresses. He is not fearful and loves the presence of humans. He gets along well with all dogs. Argos needs to meet a family quickly who will make him feel important and bring him all the caresses he has been cruelly deprived of!

FR·Show original

Argos est un autre déchet de la chasse. Quand il a cessé de bien chasser, il a été balancé au refuge comme un vulgaire déchet. Triste histoire se répétant encore et encore. Sur son visage et son oreilles se voient les cicatrices d'une longue vie de souffrance, dépourvue de chaleur et de la moindre tendresse... Et pourtant, Argos est un amour de chien, comme tous les galgos. ce qu'il désire c'est juste de l'amour, de l'attention et des caresses. Il n'est pas craintif et aime la présence des humains. Il s'entend bien avec tous les chiens. Argos a besoin de rencontrer rapidement une famille qui lui fera sentir qu'il est important et lui apportera toutes les caresses dont il a été cruellement privé!

About ARGOS

What life with ARGOS looks like

ARGOS is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Kahlua in association kahlua.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting ARGOS, answered.

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