Althos

Male · Senior · 10 years

– dry kibble specifically for skin issues The owner could not keep him following the loss of his housing Althos is a dynamic and friendly dog. However, his "melting heart" nature requires a certain level of caution in interactions. He has already shown inappropriate reactions, which is why he cannot be placed with children. He will be a loyal and affectionate companion for a attentive and consistent owner.

About Althos

What life with Althos looks like

Althos is a senior dog waiting at SPA du Pays de Saint-Malo in Saint-Malo.

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 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 Althos, answered.

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