Bruno

Male · Young · 1 year

Bruno like most of the hunting dogs that come to the shelter, seems to not know much, and as is often unfortunately the case, he is very fearful of humans... We can nevertheless sense that he is very curious about the world around him but hasn't yet found the courage to approach. He will have to learn that humans can be kind, that affection exists... We are obviously looking for a patient family for Bruno, willing to give him time to trust, so that gradually, he can reveal the affectionate and loving dog that he already is.

Bruno, comme la plupart des chiens de chasse qui arrivent au refuge, semble ne pas connaitre grand chose, et comme bien souvent malheureusement, il est très craintif envers l'humain... On le sent néanmoins très curieux de découvrir le monde qui l'entoure mais n'a pas encore le courage de s'approcher. Avec les cours d'éducation qu'il suit, il est plus en confiance à l'extérieur et met de moins en moins de temps à être à l'aise quand il ne connaît pas. Sa principale difficulté reste la vie en intérieur, que Bruno n'a sûrement jamais connu, cela reste un environnement encore très stressant pour lui et son mal être se manifeste par de la destruction. Nous recherchons bien évidemment pour Bruno une famille patiente, prête à lui laisser le temps de faire confiance, afin que petit à petit, il puisse révéler le chien affectueux, coquin et attachant qu'il est déjà. Bruno est très timide mais se dévoile et est très joueur avec ses congenères ! Avec les chat, il est curieux et ne montre aucune agressivité.

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a young adult dog waiting at APAGI in Le Versoud.

A 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bruno, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bruno?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAGI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bruno on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bruno if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAGI 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bruno 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 Bruno 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 APAGI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bruno 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.
