How do I contact the shelter about BARBOS?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche de Noé Brest handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BARBOS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BARBOS if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arche de Noé Brest 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 BARBOS 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 BARBOS 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 Arche de Noé Brest early rather than rehoming privately; they know BARBOS 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.

BARBOS

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

BARBOS is a mix between a brown bear and a goat. He will charm you with his big ears and will charm many during your walks. He is very close to humans who take care of him. Never very far, always behind you when you cook and yet not too clingy. He likes his comfort and will prefer to sleep away from you if you take up too much space. BARBOS is a ball of love, very affectionate and loves giving kisses. He is a little shy at first, still fearful of noises, children, and cats. However, he is very curious and will not hesitate to overcome his fears if he is well surrounded. He likes walks in wooded areas, paths, or the beach. The noises of the city still slightly destabilize him. He likes to play with his dog friends, loves scrambling on rocks and uses his sense of smell like no one else!!! He can detect a barbecue from kilometers away. He may have some accidents with cleanliness, especially at first, probably due to the stress of the change, but he knows how to hold it and if the exit schedules are respected, there will be no problem at first. Yes, BARBOS does not know how to ask. He does not bark, does not scratch, and has just started to whine to express himself with humans. If you are ready to repeat the right words and recall, he will learn quickly. The hardest part will be getting him to come back after a walk because he loves being outside but the call of the treat is stronger than anything. As you can tell, BARBOS is a love who will return it to you if you are gentle and patient with him when he arrives at your home.

FR·Show original

Barbos c'est un mix entre petit ours brun et un bouquetin. Il vous séduira par ses grandes oreilles et il en séduira plus d'un pendant vos promenades. Il est très proche des humains qui s'occupent de lui. Jamais très loin, toujours derrière vous quand vous cuisinerez et pourtant pas trop collant. Il aime son confort et préférera dormir loin de vous si vous prenez trop de place. Barbos c'est une boule d'amour, très câlin qui adore faire des bisous. Il est un peu craintif au début, encore peureux sur les bruits, les enfants, les chats. Cependant il est très curieux et n'hésitera pas à dépasser ses peurs s'il est bien entouré. Il aime les balades dans les endroits arborés, les chemins ou la plage. Les bruits de la ville le déstabilise encore un peu. Il aime jouer avec ses copains chiens, adore crapahuter sur les rochers et utilise son odorat comme personne!!! Il peut repérer un barbecue à des kilomètres. Il pourra avoir quelques accidents de propreté surtout au début sûrement dû au stress du changement mais il sait se retenir et si les horaires de sortie sont respectés il n'y aura aucun problème au départ. Car oui Barbos ne sait pas demander. Il n'aboie pas, ne gratte pas et commence tout juste à couiner pour s'exprimer avec les humains. Si vous êtes prêt à répéter les bons mots et le rappel, il apprendra rapidement. Le plus difficile ça sera de le faire rentrer après une promenade car il aime être dehors mais l'appel de la friandise est plus fort que tout. Vous l'aurez compris Barbos c'est un amour qui saura vous le rendre si vous êtes doux et patient avec lui à son arrivée chez vous.

About BARBOS

What life with BARBOS looks like

BARBOS is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Noé Brest in France.

An young 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.
