Clyde

Male · Senior · 10 years

Despite his imposing build and impressive voice, Clyde is a big teddy bear! He doesn't pull on walks, isn't really reactive with other dogs (he seems more curious). He responds to basic commands: "stay," "sit," "leave it." He loves cuddle sessions, that's all he wants! He's greedy and doesn't say no to a few treats. It might be necessary to be careful with young children because of his size, he can be a bit rough (he collapses on the staff with all his weight for cuddles). With cats, he's still an unknown. In short, he's an adorable (big) dog with absolutely no trace of meanness.

FR·Show original

Malgré sa carrure et sa voix impressionnantes Clyde est un gros nounours ! Il ne tire pas en balade, n’est pas vraiment réactif avec les autres chiens (il semble plutôt intrigué). Il répond aux ordres de base : « au pied » « assis » « tu laisses ». C’est un amoureux des séances de câlins, il ne demande que ça ! Il est gourmand et ne dit pas non à quelques biscuits Il faudra peut être faire attention avec les jeunes enfants car de par sa taille, il est un peu brusque (il se laisse tomber de tout son poids sur les équipes pour des câlins). Pour les chats, c’est encore l’inconnu. En résumé, c’est un adorable (gros) toutou sans aucune once de méchanceté.

About Clyde

What life with Clyde looks like

Clyde is a senior dog waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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.

🇫🇷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 Clyde, answered.

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