How do I contact the shelter about Albain?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. S.P.A. du 47 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Albain on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Albain if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — S.P.A. du 47 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 Albain 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 Albain 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 S.P.A. du 47 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Albain 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.

Albain

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Albain is a male mixed breed Dogue de Bordeaux, estimated to be between 8 and 9 years old, but officially born on 01/03/2022. He is a large dog and entered the shelter on 08/09/2026 from the pound. Albain has a fawn coat and the microchip number is 250269611879851. His next health check is scheduled for 23/11/2026. He has been spayed. Albain is an extremely kind dog, deeply affectionate, patient, and always in a good mood. Despite his estimated age, he still has a lot of energy and enjoys walks. He is a pleasure to walk, walking alongside his owner and showing himself to be particularly tolerant and easy to accompany. What makes Albain unique is his kindness, which immediately impresses those who meet him. He is sociable, close to humans, and has a particularly pleasant temperament, and he just wants to share a simple and happy life with his future family. With other dogs, he is a true gentleman, sociable, respectful, and very pleasant to be around. Health: Albain developed a bilateral perineal hernia shortly after arriving at the shelter. He was taken into emergency care and operated on at a veterinary clinic. His post-operative care is provided by the shelter and his recovery is progressing well.

About Albain

What life with Albain looks like

Albain is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at S.P.A. du 47 in France.

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.
