And I met you. You are just magnificent, big, strong and muscular, you have a proud head carriage and you can be proud. Just a walk and a long cuddle in the park and you will literally fall under your charm. You are so full of love, you stop during the walk, turn around to come curl up in my arms. A little moment of tenderness and you continue your walk calmly. You made me melt my beautiful Falco! Your other animals of the same species don't seem to bother you, it will have to be confirmed, but that's good news for your future adopters. While waiting for them I will continue to come and shower you with kisses and caresses. Come meet Falco the molosser with a big heart. Dear Santa Claus, It's me Falco, the magnificent Argentine mastiff of almost 8 years old. I am big and imposing, muscular and sleek, I wish to stay in shape and live as long as possible with the family who will have chosen me for life. Of a calm and gentle nature, I am very appreciated by volunteers because I do not pull on the leash, whether in physical condition or not, we go at my pace, I take my time, I sniff, I enjoy it fully. Fond of cuddle sessions, I am so happy with my human, on the couch I will find my place without any problem. I have basic training, I know "sit" and "shake", I am well-behaved and clean in the house.

About Falco

What life with Falco looks like

Falco is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA du Gers in France.

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 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 Falco, answered.

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