Bob

Male · Senior · 12 years

I am a 12-year-old Australian Shepherd. This night changed my life. I was tied up in the industrial zone of Ville de Carros, with a bowl of water and a bowl of kibble... then no one came back. I don't understand what I did wrong. In the photo, my fur hides the reality a bit, but I am very thin. I am not in good condition, and it's been a while since I've been properly taken care of. In my life, I have already had several owners. And today, at 12 years old, when I should have only finished my old age surrounded by love and tenderness, I find myself in the pound. I am lost, sad and tired. I didn't ask for much... just a family that loves me to the end. Please share my story. No one should end their life this way.

J’ai 12 ans. Je suis un Berger Australien. Cette nuit, ma vie a basculé. J’ai été attaché dans la zone industrielle de Ville de Carros , avec une gamelle d’eau et une gamelle de croquettes… puis plus personne n’est revenu. Je ne comprends pas ce que j’ai fait de mal. Sur la photo, mes poils cachent un peu la réalité, mais je suis très amaigri. Je ne suis pas en bon état, et ça fait un moment que je ne suis plus vraiment entretenu. Au cours de ma vie, j’ai déjà connu plusieurs propriétaires. Et aujourd’hui, à 12 ans, alors que j’aurais seulement dû finir mes vieux jours entouré d’amour et de douceur, je me retrouve en fourrière. Je suis perdu, triste et fatigué. Je ne demandais pourtant pas grand-chose… juste une famille qui m’aime jusqu’au bout. S’il vous plaît, partagez mon histoire. Personne ne devrait terminer sa vie de cette façon. 16 août 2026 Posted by: Au Service des Animaux no comment

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is a senior dog waiting at Au Service des Animaux 06 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 Bob, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bob?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Au Service des Animaux 06 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bob on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bob if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Au Service des Animaux 06 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 Bob 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 Bob 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 Au Service des Animaux 06 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bob 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.
