Bernard

Male · Young · 1 year

In socialization | Temperament: Very timid, Bernard and Bianco were entrusted to us a few days ago following a report. Bernard is a handsome Breton feline that unfortunately has not been socialized with humans. Having his fellow inmate Bianco around greatly reassures him for now. We have no doubt that he will progress; it's just a matter of time! See Bernard on the forum.

En cours de socialisation | Caractère: Très craintif Bernard et Bianco nous ont été confiés il y a quelques jours suite à un signalement. Bernard est un beau fauve de bretagne qui malheureusement n'a pas été socialisé à l'humain. D'avoir son copain de galère Bianco le rassure énormément pour l'instant. On a aucun doute qu'il progresse, c'est juste une question de temps ! Voir Bernard sur le forum.

About Bernard

What life with Bernard looks like

Bernard is a young adult dog waiting at Refuge des Bérauds (Romans-sur-Isère) in Romans-sur-Isère.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bernard, answered.

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