Brak

Male · Senior · 10 years

After spending 6 years in his previous shelter, Brack was transferred to us to give him a new chance. He's a sweet little guy with a big heart but has a history of abuse. As a result, he's still wary of strangers and will need time to build trust and feel comfortable. Once he loves you, he becomes a real glue, close to you and affectionate. We're looking for a quiet environment, preferably in a rural setting, without children, for him. Behavioral assessment:. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

FR·Show original

Après avoir passé 6 ans dans son ancien refuge, Brack nous a été transféré pour lui donner une nouvelle chance. C'est un loulou qui à un grand cœur mais avec un passé de maltraitance. Il a donc maintenant peur des inconnus et aura besoin de temps pour faire confiance et se sentir à l'aise. Une fois qu'il vous aime, il devient un vrai pot de colle, proche de vous et câlin. Nous recherchons pour lui une vie dans un environnement calme, de type campagne, sans enfant. Evaluation comportementale : 2/4 Brak n'est actuellement pas présent au refuge, si vous souhaitez avoir des informations, merci de contacter le refuge.

About Brak

What life with Brak looks like

Brak is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: History of abuse, fearful of strangers, requires quiet rural environment

🇫🇷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 Brak, answered.

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