BONGO

Pointer · Male · Adult · 4 years

Arrived on November 21, 2024, the splendid BONGO is up for adoption! He is currently at our shelter following a transfer from a pound, so his past is unknown. BONGO is a gentle, very playful dog. He is lively and will need daily energy expenditure (athletes take note). He is sociable, but if his future family already has one or more other dogs of the same species, a meeting will still be necessary to confirm compatibility. However, no cohabitation is possible with our feline friends. BONGO deserves better days away from the shelter, so give him a chance to win you over! Come meet him!!

Arrivé le 21 Novembre 2024 Le splendide Bongo est à l’adoption ! Il se trouve au refuge suite à un transfert de fourrière ; son passé est donc inconnu.. Bongo est un gentil chien très joueur. Vif, il aura besoin de dépense quotidienne (avis aux sportifs). Sociable, si sa future famille possède déjà un ou plusieurs congénères, une rencontre devra tout de même avoir lieu afin de confirmer les ententes. En revanche, aucune cohabitation possible avec nos amis félins. Bongo mérite de connaître des jours meilleurs loin du refuge alors laissez lui une chance de vous convaincre, venez le rencontrer !!

About BONGO

What life with BONGO looks like

BONGO is a medium-sized adult pointer dog waiting at SPA 65 Tarbes in Tarbes.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting BONGO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BONGO?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA 65 Tarbes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BONGO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BONGO if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA 65 Tarbes 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 BONGO 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 BONGO 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 65 Tarbes early rather than rehoming privately; they know BONGO 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.
