Adopt BALOO

Pointer · Male · Adult · 7 years

Adorable little one, BALOO is very affectionate and close to his human. He gets along very well with other dogs and will have no problem living with children. His only flaw: he doesn't handle loneliness well. He will therefore need a very present family as well as long walks to burn off his energy. Not okay for cats. For a successful adoption and harmonious cohabitation within your home with your dog, we advise you to learn about positive training and canine communication signals.

Read original (fr)

Adorable loulou, Baloo est très câlin et proche de son humain. Il s'entend très bien avec les autres chiens et pourra vivre sans problème avec des enfants. Son seul défaut : il supporte mal la solitude. Il lui faudra donc une famille très présente ainsi que de grandes balades pour se dépenser. Pour une adoption réussie et pour une cohabitation harmonieuse au sein du foyer avec votre chien nous vous conseillons de vous renseigner sur l'éducation positive et sur les signaux de communication canine.

About BALOO

What life with BALOO looks like

BALOO is a adult pointer dog waiting at SPA Pornic in Pornic.

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 BALOO, answered.

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