Adopt Capitán Garfio

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

This little one hasn't had a great start in life, and an example of that was losing one of its paws due to an untreated infection. Still, Fangtooth is a TOP dog! He arrived wary, undoubtedly due to his past, but now he's a doting pup you won't believe! He lives in foster care with more puppies while he waits for someone who wants to share their life with him. He's very calm and sociable; he hasn't quite mastered the leash yet, but we're working on it little by little. His birthdate is 11/29/2020 and he weighs [insert weight]. Do you want to meet him?

Este pequeñín no ha tenido un buen comienzo de vida, y ejemplo de ello fue que perdió una de sus patitas por una infección no tratada. Aún así, Garfio es un perro TOP! Llegó desconfiado, seguramente por su pasado, pero ahora es un mimoso que no veas! Vive de acogida con más perritos mientras espera a que llegue alguien que quiera compartir su vida con él. Es muy tranquilo y sociable; aún no controla la correa pero lo estamos trabajando poco a poco. Tiene fecha de nacimiento 29/11/2020 y pesa Quieres conocerle?

About Capitán Garfio

What life with Capitán Garfio looks like

Capitán Garfio is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at ADA Gran Canaria in Gran Canaria.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Capitán Garfio, answered.

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