How do I contact the shelter about ANDOR?

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

Can I adopt ANDOR if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Rennes 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 ANDOR 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 ANDOR 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 Rennes early rather than rehoming privately; they know ANDOR 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.

ANDOR

Belgian Malinois · Male · Adult · 7 years

ANDOR arrived in the summer of 2025 following a cruelty investigation, he was living locked in a basement. Yet he has held no grudge against humans. He loves their company and is very friendly with the entire team. He is very playful and very eager to work. He has difficulty managing his emotions and will need positive and caring training to help him channel them. ANDOR is sociable with other animals of the same species and could certainly live with a companion who is not too energetic and very at ease. We will prefer a placement in a house with a well-fenced yard. ANDOR still has some difficulty with walks, he tends to pull a lot on his leash. He is making good progress but the work will need to continue. He can live with older children (at least 12 years old) who are respectful. We do not know his compatibility with cats but a test can be done at the shelter. ANDOR deserves better than a life behind the bars of a cage.

FR·Show original

Andor est arrivé l'été 2025 suite à une enquête maltraitance, il vivait enfermé dans une cave. Il n'a pourtant garder aucune rancune envers l'humain. Il aime leur compagnie et est très avenant avec l'ensemble de l'équipe. Il est très joueur et très volontaire dans le travail. Il a du mal à gérer ses émotions et aura besoin d'une éducation positive et bienveillante pour l'aider à se canaliser. Andor est sociable avec ses congénères et pourra tout à fait vivre avec un copain pas trop speed et bien dans ses pattes. Nous privilégierons un placement en maison avec un extérieur bien clos. Andor a encore du mal avec les balades, il a tendance à beaucoup décharger sur sa laisse. Il fait de beaux progrès mais le travail sera à poursuivre. Il pourra vivre avec de grands enfants (au moins 12 ans) respectueux. Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les chats mais un test pourra être effectué au refuge. Andor mérite mieux qu'une vie derrière les grilles d'un box.

About ANDOR

What life with ANDOR looks like

ANDOR is a large adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Rescue from abuse case, needs positive training for emotional regulation and leash reactivity

🇫🇷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.
