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.

Black

Pointer · Male

Accueil Black, Braque, Male, born in March 2013. Category: Adopted. Description: Black is a dynamic dog. He will need appropriate exercise, consistent boundaries, and regular companionship. Black arrived at the pound in poor condition, and his owner did not come forward. Black lived on a caravan site and was used for hunting. It is now clear that all of this is behind him… Black suffers from partial blindness and a moderately severe heart murmur, which may require treatment in the short or medium term until the end. Black is eligible for the 30 million friends senior operation, and his future adopters can benefit from a financial aid package of 800€ during the animal's lifetime, which can help fund any potential treatment or medical follow-up. He is an adorable, calm, quiet, discreet, and affectionate grandpa. Still active and dynamic, despite his blindness, he is always up for a walk at his own pace to smell the good scents. Who could offer a chance to Black? A retirement basket, in a caring and kind family. Black seeks present and active adopters. Desired living conditions: in a house, with a fenced 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.
