Gastão

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 14 years

O nosso Gastão cruzado de Labrador, já foi adoptado mas devolvido pois foi-lhe diagnosticada epilepsia, mas toma os seus medicamentos diários e faz a sua vida normal. Sabemos que não é um factor fácil, mas tomando os seus medicamentos diário faz a sua vida do dia a dia normal como outro cão, pensamos que não será pelo diagnostico que este menino terá de viver o resto da sua vida numa box. É dócil, brincalhão, adora brincar com brinquedos, passear, só precisava mesmo de um lar e uma família que o amasse pois carinho, ele tem toneladas dele para dar

About Gastão

What life with Gastão looks like

Gastão is a medium-sized senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Associação Projecto JAVA in -909 Atalaia.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇵🇹Adopting from Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gastão, answered.

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