Bandy

Unknown · Senior · 12 years

« Bandy » est un tout jeune chien débordant d’énergie. Amical avec tout le monde et enjoué avec l’humain, il est autant câlin que joueur. Très connecté à la personne qui s’occupe de lui, il se montre à l’écoute et possède de bonnes bases d’obéissance. Bandy a cependant tendance à monter rapidement en excitation et aura besoin d’apprendre à mieux gérer ses émotions. Il peut, par enthousiasme, sauter pour dire bonjour sans aucune agressivité mais il faudra simplement lui apprendre à se présenter un peu plus délicatement. Il aura besoin de sorties quotidiennes avec la possibilité de se dépenser et courir pour trouver son équilibre. Bandy est également gourmand. Déjà naturellement à l’écoute, il sera encore plus réceptif lors des séances d’éducation grâce aux friandises ! Nous ne connaissons pas encore son entente avec les autres animaux. En raison de son tempérament un peu trop enthousiaste, une famille avec de grands enfants (plus de 12 ans ou adolescents) est envisageable s’il y a des enfants dans le foyer. Bandy aura besoin d’un environnement calme pour s’apaiser ainsi que d’adoptants investis et prêts à poursuivre son suivi éducatif après son adoption. Pour pouvoir adopter Bandy, il sera nécessaire de disposer d’une attestation d’aptitude pour chiens de catégorie ainsi que d’une assurance responsabilité civile.

About Bandy

What life with Bandy looks like

Bandy is a large senior dog waiting at SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 Bandy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bandy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bandy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bandy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) 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 Bandy 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 Bandy 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 de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bandy 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.
