Apollo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Nous vous présentons Apollo, jeune chien de 7 mois qui ne demande qu’à montrer à une nouvelle famille qu’il est, certes, plein de fougue mais aussi qu’il sait réfléchir et progresser très vite! Comme tout jeune chien, il aime jouer, encore jouer et toujours jouer! Au refuge, il a trouvé une jeune femelle tout autant joyeuse que lui mais il semblerait qu’avec certains mâles, il préfère montrer ses muscles ! En promenade, il est tellement occupé à découvrir le monde, qu’il apprend à modérer ses ardeurs et se révèle beaucoup plus sociable. Par ailleurs, il a grandi avec des enfants et des chats et n’attend que des maîtres qui sauront lui apporter un cadre, de la présence et de l’exercice en quantité suffisante. Tous nos animaux sont identifiés, stérilisés et vaccinés. Si vous pensez pouvoir lui offrir une seconde chance, venez le rencontrer au Refuge ADA d’Espalion, peut-être que votre plus belle histoire commencera avec lui.

About Apollo

What life with Apollo looks like

Apollo is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Association de Défense Animaux (ADA d'Espalion) in France.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Apollo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Apollo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association de Défense Animaux (ADA d'Espalion) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apollo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Apollo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association de Défense Animaux (ADA d'Espalion) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Apollo 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 Apollo 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 Association de Défense Animaux (ADA d'Espalion) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apollo 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.
