Adopt Baloo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Baloo arrived with us following an abandonment, as her family could no longer properly care for her. She is wary of strangers, especially men. Once she feels secure, she becomes very affectionate and can turn into a little ball of love! She remains a bit wary of the unfamiliar, so continued socialization and desensitization will be necessary in her new home. When it comes to other dogs of the same size, she can cohabitate comfortably. Don't hesitate to come meet this big teddy bear!

Read original (fr)

Baloo est arrivée chez nous suite à un abandon, sa famille ne pouvant plus s'en occuper convenablement. Il se montre méfiant vis-à-vis des inconnus, surtout des hommes. Une fois en confiance, il devient très affectueux et peut se transformer en petit pot de colle ! Toujours un peu méfiant de ce qu'il ne connaît pas, un travail de socialisation et désensibilisation sera à poursuivre dans son nouveau foyer. Niveau congénères, il pourra cohabiter avec un chien de son gabarit bien dans ses pattes. N'hésitez pas à venir rencontrer ce gros nounours ;)

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Plouhinec in Plouhinec.

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 Plouhinec 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 Plouhinec 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 Plouhinec 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.
