Adopt DARTANAN

Mixed Breed · Male

Our Hero, Dartanan! This strong, energetic, and incredibly kind boy was born on 06/06/23 , and what a journey he's been on. For a while, he was in his own isolated space, but like the legendary French hero he's named after, Dartanan quickly found loyal companions. He's been thriving alongside Fatima for quite some time now – their bond is a joy to see, full of doggy kisses and shared adventures. He's also formed an incredible bond with our Super Volunteer Maxine, a true hero herself, helps Dartanan channel his high energy (he's around 25.5kg and castrated) and enjoys life to the fullest. Dartanan is a confident and enthusiastic dog who loves his food and brings so much fun wherever he goes. While he loves his friends here, Dartanan is ready to embark on his own grand adventure and is available for adoption independently. Could you be the loyal companion Dartanan has been waiting for, ready to welcome this amazing hero into your home?

About DARTANAN

What life with DARTANAN looks like

DARTANAN is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Murcia) in Lips Rescue.

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 DARTANAN, answered.

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