BABSY

Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 8 years

Date of Arrival: 06/09/2020 for BABSY, it will be preferable for their adopters to take training classes. Intellectual exercises and patience exercises will allow them to be comfortable in their paws. We therefore recommend the following measures. • Work with Babsy on communication in a calm manner and with rewards to establish consistent and confident communication • Maintain her socialization by putting her in contact with various people without ever forcing the contact BABSY can be fearful, so continued socialization and taking her everywhere will be important. And very important: BABSY is not aggressive. When BABSY is confident, she is a very affectionate, calm dog who doesn’t pull on walks and she is attentive. BABSY has been waiting too long… and what if it was you, her forever family? ️”

About BABSY

What life with BABSY looks like

BABSY is a adult bull terrier dog waiting at SPA Poitiers in Poitiers.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting BABSY, answered.

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