How do I contact the shelter about Black?

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

Can I adopt Black if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Loire Atlantique 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 Black 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 Black 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 Loire Atlantique early rather than rehoming privately; they know Black 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.

Welcome Black Braque, Male, born in March 2013 Category: Adopted DescriptionAdditional Information Black is a lively dog. He will need appropriate physical activity, consistent routines, and regular supervision. Black arrived at the shelter in poor condition, and his owner never came forward. Black used to live on a traveller’s site and was used for hunting. Today, it’s clear that all of that is firmly behind him... Black suffers from blindness and a moderately severe heart murmur, likely requiring short- or medium-term treatment for the rest of his life. Black is eligible for the “Doyen” operation supported by 30 Million Friends, and his future adopters can benefit from financial assistance of €800 over the animal’s lifetime, which can help cover potential medical treatments or ongoing veterinary care. He’s an adorable, calm, quiet, discreet, and affectionate senior dog. Despite his blindness, he remains strong and energetic, always eager for a walk at his own pace to enjoy pleasant smells. Who could give Black a chance? A retirement home, in a caring and loving family. Black is looking for present and active adopters. Desired living conditions: house with enclosed garden.

About Black

What life with Black looks like

Black is a adult pointer dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

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.
