Adopt Taco

American Staffordshire Terrier · Unknown

Taco is an 8-year-old beautiful dog, very friendly with people and affable. He gets along well with large dogs but does not tolerate small dogs, so he must always be supervised when out for a walk. He is not sociable with cats. If you have experience with animals and feel like giving this big fellow a chance, come meet him.

Read original (es)

Taco es un perro precioso de 8 añitos, muy sociable con personas y simpático. Se lleva bien con perros grandes, pero no tolera a perros de tamaño pequeño, por lo que es imprescindible que cuando pasee esté siempre supervisado. No es sociable con gatos. Si tienes manejo con animales y te apetece darle una oportunidad a este grandullón, ven a conocerle.

About Taco

What life with Taco looks like

Taco is a small adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Centro de Proteccion Animal de Madrid in Madrid.

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 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 Taco, answered.

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