ATHOS

Galgo Español · Male · Adult · 5 years

By: CICAMPosted on June 18, 2026 Name: ATHOS Breed: Spanish Greyhound español Sex: Male Date of birth: 06/05/2022 Date of entry to the center: 11/05/2026 ATHOS is the eldest of the three Spanish Greyhounds. He is between 4 and 5 years old and, like his companions, he arrived at the center after a life that was not fair to him. Nevertheless, he never lost his sweetness. ATHOS is one of those dogs that exude peace from the very first moment. Calm, balanced, and noble, he has a way of being that makes everything easy around him. He does not seek to draw attention or be the center of attention, but he ends up winning over anyone who spends a few minutes with him. It is true that compared to Aramis, who is probably one of the most affectionate dogs to have passed through the center, ATHOS can appear a bit more independent. But let no one be mistaken: ATHOS is tremendously affectionate. Much more than most people imagine when they think of a Spanish Greyhound. He loves being petted, being company, and feeling close to people. Like his companions, he does not know how to play. No one ever taught him how to do it. He does not ask for balls, toys, or great entertainments. What he seeks is something much more important: a home where he can receive affection, a bed where he can rest peacefully, and a family with which to share his life. He is sociable, well-mannered, and very easy to handle. One of those dogs that fit into a family almost from the first day and, without making a sound, end up occupying a huge place in the hearts of those who know them. ATHOS has already waited too long. Now he just needs someone to look beyond his past and discover the wonderful dog that he is. Do you give him the chance to finally start the life he deserves? Categories:

Tiene entre 4 y 5 años y, como sus compañeros, llegó al centro después de haber pasado por una vida que no fue justa con él.Aun así, nunca perdió la dulzura.Athos es uno de esos perros que transmiten paz desde el primer momento. Tranquilo, equilibrado y noble, tiene una forma de ser que hace que todo sea fácil a su lado. No busca llamar la atención ni ser el protagonista, pero acaba conquistando a cualquiera que le dedica unos minutos.Es cierto que, comparado con Aramis, que probablemente sea uno de los perros más cariñosos que han pasado por el centro, Athos puede parecer un poco más independiente. Pero que nadie se confunda: Athos es tremendamente cariñoso. Mucho más de lo que la mayoría de la gente imagina cuando piensa en un galgo.Le encantan las caricias, la compañía y sentirse cerca de las personas. Como sus compañeros, no sabe jugar.

De esos perros que encajan en una familia casi desde el primer día y que, sin hacer ruido, terminan ocupando un lugar enorme en el corazón de quienes los conocen.Athos ya ha esperado demasiado. Ahora solo necesita que alguien mire más allá de su pasado y descubra al perro maravilloso que es.¿Le das la oportunidad de empezar por fin la vida que merece? Categories: PERROS

About ATHOS

What life with ATHOS looks like

ATHOS is an adult galgo español dog waiting at CICAM in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting ATHOS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ATHOS?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. CICAM handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ATHOS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ATHOS if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask CICAM whether they will for ATHOS, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ATHOS already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for ATHOS. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by CICAM, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if ATHOS isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask CICAM about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know ATHOS 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.
