Elton

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Elton apareció abandonado en Potes cuando tenía tan solo unos 9 meses. A pesar de sus duros inicios, es un perrete súper cariñoso y muy sociable con otros perros sociables. Tiene displasia de cadera en ambos lados (uno de ellos operado), pero esto no le impide llevar una vida completamente normal y activa, aunque requiere medicación para mantenerse libre de dolor. Le apasiona ir en coche y disfrutar de la playa. Buscamos para él una adopción o acogida indefinida que le dé el hogar y el cariño que tanto merece.

About Elton

What life with Elton looks like

Elton is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Refugio Canino Torres in Spain.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elton, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elton?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refugio Canino Torres handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elton on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elton if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refugio Canino Torres 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Elton 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 Elton 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 Refugio Canino Torres early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elton 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.
