Adopt Bradley

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Male Born in 2025 Guinea Pig Description Bradley is a small courageous male who is gradually adapting to his new life. As he arrived recently, he is still a bit anxious in the face of unfamiliar noises and movements at the shelter. He will need some time to feel fully safe in his new habitat. A physical characteristic distinguishes him: he is missing an eye. However, this disability has no consequences for him in daily life. Guinea pigs adapt extremely well to this situation and it certainly does not prevent him from moving, eating or interacting normally. For his well-being, he will be placed in freedom or semi-freedom. This lifestyle will allow him to explore his environment at his own pace and reduce his anxiety. Being a social animal, Bradley must live with another male guinea pig. Bradley is looking for a calm and caring home that will look beyond his small difference to discover the affectionate companion he is becoming. Additional Information Arrival date at the shelter: April 2026Identification: None Agreements Other guinea pigs: Yes, maleCats: To testDogs: To testChildren:

Accueil Bradley Mâle, né en 2025 Catégorie : NAC DescriptionInformations complémentaires Bradley est un petit mâle courageux qui s'adapte doucement à sa nouvelle vie. Comme il est arrivé récemment, il se montre encore un peu anxieux face aux bruits et aux mouvements inconnus du refuge. Il aura besoin d'un temps d'adaptation pour se sentir pleinement en sécurité dans son nouvel habitat. Une particularité physique le distingue : il lui manque un œil. Cependant, ce handicap est sans conséquence pour lui au quotidien. Les cochons d'inde s'adaptent extrêmement bien à cette situation et cela ne l'empêche absolument pas de se déplacer, de se nourrir ou d'interagir normalement. Pour son épanouissement, son placement se fera en liberté ou semi-liberté. Ce mode de vie lui permettra d'explorer son environnement à son rythme et de réduire son anxiété. Étant un animal social, Bradley devra impérativement vivre avec un autre cochon d'inde mâle. Bradley recherche un foyer calme et bienveillant qui saura regarder au-delà de sa petite différence pour découvrir le compagnon attachant qu'il est en train de devenir.

About Bradley

What life with Bradley looks like

Bradley is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bradley, answered.

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