Adopt BOBBY (réservé)

Male · Adult · 5 years

Bobby is a reserved dog with humans, but deeply gentle: he has not a hint of aggression. What he needs is time, patience… and especially another well-adjusted dog to help him feel more at ease. Very playful with his fellow animals of the same species, Bobby thrives in their presence and takes inspiration from them. To build a connection with him, multiple visits will be necessary: each meeting will bring you a little closer to this sensitive dog with great potential. Once he feels confident, he will know how to offer you a beautiful relationship based on gentleness and intimacy. If you already have a sociable dog and the desire to help a shy pup find a wonderful life, Bobby is waiting for you.

Bobby est un chien réservé avec l’humain, mais profondément doux : il n’a pas une once d’agressivité. Ce qu’il lui faut, c’est du temps, de la patience… et surtout un autre chien bien dans ses pattes pour l’aider à se sentir en confiance. Très joueur avec ses congénères, Bobby s’épanouit en leur présence et prend exemple sur eux. Pour créer un lien avec lui, plusieurs visites seront nécessaires : chaque rencontre vous rapprochera un peu plus de ce chien sensible au grand potentiel. Une fois en confiance, il saura vous offrir une belle relation basée sur la douceur et la complicité. Si vous avez déjà un chien sociable et l’envie d’accompagner un loulou timide vers une belle vie, Bobby vous attend.

About BOBBY (réservé)

What life with BOBBY (réservé) looks like

BOBBY (réservé) is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at SPA Mont-de-Marsan in De Marsan.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs another dog companion for confidence

🇫🇷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 BOBBY (réservé), answered.

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