Astro

Beagle · Male

Astro is a young, energetic dog who is very attached to humans. Playful, affectionate, and always seeking companionship, he loves to share his humans' daily lives and follow them everywhere. He particularly enjoys walks and outdoor activities. However, Astro will need an invested family who can provide a structured and consistent environment to help him channel his energy. Unfortunately, his hunting instinct has been triggered after living with chickens, so he is no longer compatible with cats. When out on a walk, you will also need to be vigilant: Astro tends to chase cars and cyclists. Education and management will be essential for his safety and that of others. Like many young dogs, he can also get into mischief if he gets bored: destruction, stolen objects... but with exercise, patience, and clear boundaries, Astro can make a lot of progress. Positive points: he is relatively clean indoors and travels well by car. Astro is looking for a present, active family who is ready to invest in him to offer him the stability he needs.

About Astro

What life with Astro looks like

Astro is a medium-sized adult beagle dog waiting at SPA Côtes d 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Astro, answered.

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