How do I contact the shelter about Gordo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche de Phoenix handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gordo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gordo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arche de Phoenix 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 Gordo 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 Gordo 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 Arche de Phoenix early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gordo 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.

Gordo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Here is Gordo, an adorable Spanish Mastiff. He was abandoned in an empty lot. He was saved by volunteers and placed in safety at our shelter. Gordo was examined by our veterinarian for a complete check-up, all blood tests are negative. Unfortunately, Gordo has not yet found his adoptive family, and it is now urgent that he be adopted. Gordo knows only the warmth of his kennel, the caresses of the volunteers, but he dreams of being able to run in the green grass, of feeling the scent of the underbrush in the fall. Who will be able to offer him the gentle warmth of a loving home, caresses, and most of all, the love of his master. Gordo is affectionate, gentle, calm, obedient, he is social with his other animals of the same species, and he loves children. We are searching for a super family for Gordo who will take good care of Gordo, will offer beautiful walks, games, and entertainment, and lots of cuddles. Gordo can live in a house with a garden. Name: Gordo. Breed: Spanish Mastiff. Sex: male. Age: 11/2022Height: 70 cmWeight:

About Gordo

What life with Gordo looks like

Gordo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Phoenix in arche de phoenix.

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.
