Narco

Pit Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 11 years

Arrived with a microchip and we couldn't contact the owner (I also seem to remember that it was the second time he entered the shelter). He is a nervous and very playful dog, he does not get along with some males but we have seen him play and be very happy with other dogs, both male and female, through the patio fence. (I think he especially doesn't like those that are bigger than him). He is very good with people, every morning when you take the blanket off his bed he rubs against your legs looking for caresses. With the leash it pulls a little, but it's only because it needs to expend energy!

Llego con microchip y no conseguimos contactar con el dueño ( Ademas creo recordar que era la segunda vez que entraba a la prote ). Es un perro nervioso y muy jugueton, no se lleva bien con algunos machos pero le hemos visto jugar y ponerse muy contento con otros perros tanto machos como hembras a traves de la valla del patio. ( Creo que especialmente no le gustan los que son mas grandes que el ). Con las personas es muy bueno, cada mañana cuando le quitas la manta de su camita se restriega contra tus piernas buscando caricias. Con la correa tira un poco, pero es solo por que necesita gastar energia!

About Narco

What life with Narco looks like

Narco is a senior pit bull terrier dog waiting at Protectora Oriolana in Spain.

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 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 Narco, answered.

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