How do I contact the shelter about Boy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Thalya Protection handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Boy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Boy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Thalya Protection 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 Boy 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 Boy 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 Association Thalya Protection early rather than rehoming privately; they know Boy 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.

Boy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

☀️ Boy is up for adoption ☀️ 🐶 Name: Boy ♂️ Gender: male 🍼 Age: 2 years 🏆 Breed: Royal Bourbon ✍🏻 History: Boy lived on a beach on the island of Saint-Martin… Chased by humans, rejected by other dogs, he had no place 💔 The dogs didn’t accept him into their pack and he was often attacked… He still bears the scars today. He also bothered the beach restaurants… A pickup by the pound was planned, with a real risk of euthanasia… It was time for him. Fortunately, he crossed paths with kind-hearted people who decided not to let him end up that way and organized his return to France. Today, he is in safe family foster care near Montpellier 🏡 🔥 Character: Boy is an extremely adorable dog 🥰 Gentle, affectionate, and very close to humans ❤️ ✔️ OK with dogs (he currently lives in foster care with other dogs, everything is going well, he has very good manners) ✔️ OK with cats ✔️ OK with humans He can be a bit wary of some men he doesn’t know, but without any aggression. Transport can be difficult for him: stress can make him ill, but it can be worked through gradually 🙏 🍀 Needs: Boy will need a soft, reassuring, and patient home. A family ready to give him the time to continue building trust ❤️ He only asks for one thing: to finally have his family for life 🤍 If you want to meet Boy, please fill out our application form:

Il gênait également les restaurants de la plage… Une prise en charge par la fourrière était prévue, avec un risque réel d’euthanasie… Il était temps pour lui.

About Boy

What life with Boy looks like

Boy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Thalya Protection in France.

An young 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.
