ALPHA

Male · Senior · 9 years

Found wandering at the animal pound, ALPHA is finally up for adoption after many months in a cage... He is a friendly dog with humans and affectionate.

Still energetic, he will need to be able to burn both physical and mental energy daily to thrive. He can also live with respectful children. ALPHA is a calm and gentle dog whose peace must be respected. He is a true gentle soul looking for a retirement basket. Come give him the life he deserves!

About ALPHA

What life with ALPHA looks like

ALPHA is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Gerhard Cramer) in Arry.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires ongoing training with positive methods, needs socialization work, reactive with other dogs

🇫🇷Adopting from France

Frequently asked

Adopting ALPHA, answered.

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