Bou

Pointer · Male · Adult · 4 years

Bou – Spain Approx 3 years old Clear of Med Diseases 55cm to Withers No cats or male dogs. Bou (pronounced “Bo”) is an approximately 3-year-old male dog who is sterilized and clear of Mediterranean diseases. Bou was handed in by his hunter owner in September 2025 in Spain. He is a handsome and gentle boy with a shy nature, taking a little time to warm up to new people and situations.Bou does not get along with male dogs, but he adores female dogs and has formed a close bond with one named Katie. Because of this, a home with a female dog would be ideal for him, where he can feel safe and happy. He is also well-behaved on the lead, making walks calm and enjoyable. However, Bou is not good with cats, so a home without feline companions would be best. Bou is looking for a patient and loving family who can give him the time and space he needs to blossom. If you think you could offer Bou the forever home he deserves, please get in touch with us at Bou start a

About Bou

What life with Bou looks like

Bou is a adult pointer dog waiting at Pointers in Need in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bou?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pointers in Need handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bou if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pointers in Need 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bou 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 Bou 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 Pointers in Need early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bou 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 (EN). 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.
