Ace

Belgian Malinois · Male · Young · 3 years

Ace Malinois crossbreed Shepherd · Male Born on 15/02/23Arrived on 04/02/2026Provenance: AbandonMode of life: House with well-fenced garden or apartmentEntente with children: YesEntente with dogs: Case by caseEntente with cats: To be tested Ace is a very playful and dynamic dog. Always ready for adventure, he loves long walks to enjoy the sun, the forest, and even small swims. Curious and full of energy, he loves discovering and sharing active moments with his humans. He has already been around other animals of the same species; however, the agreement with other dogs will be on a case-by-case basis. Ace has also been in contact with cats as well as with children. However, Ace will need a clear framework and a significant investment in education. Being naturally escape-prone, he will have to evolve in a perfectly secure and well-fenced environment. He is also still untrained and can be destructive: his future owners will need to be patient, understanding, and ready to accompany him with consistency and kindness to meet his needs and give him the basics he may have missed. Despite this, Ace remains above all a affectionate and endearing dog, who will repay a hundredfold the love and attention given to him.

Ace Malinois croisé Berger · Mâle Né le 15/02/23Arrivé le 04/02/2026Provenance : AbandonMode de vie : Maison avec jardin bien clôturé ou appartementEntente enfants : OuiEntente chiens : Au cas par casEntente chats : A tester Ace est un chien très joueur et dynamique. Toujours partant pour l’aventure, il adore les longues balades pour profiter du soleil, de la forêt et même de petites baignades. Curieux et plein d’énergie, il aime découvrir et partager des moments actifs avec ses humains. Il a déjà côtoyé des congénères ; l’entente avec les autres chiens se fera toutefois au cas par cas. Ace a également été en contact avec des chats ainsi qu’avec des enfants. Ace aura cependant besoin d’un cadre clair et d’un investissement important en éducation. De nature fugueur, il devra évoluer dans un environnement parfaitement sécurisé et bien clôturé. Il est également encore malpropre et peut se montrer destructeur : ses futurs propriétaires devront être patients, compréhensifs et prêts à l’accompagner avec cohérence et bienveillance pour répondre à ses besoins et lui apporter les bases qui lui ont peut-être manqué. Malgré cela, Ace reste avant tout un chien affectueux et attachant, qui saura rendre au centuple l’amour et l’attention qu’on lui offrira.

About Ace

What life with Ace looks like

Ace is a young adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Lorraine Amance in Amance.

An young 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 Ace, answered.

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