Adopt CONOR

Male · Young · 3 years

CONOR was rescued during a cruelty investigation. Very thin upon arrival and suffering from a now-cured skin disease, he has since gained weight and boasts an impressive build of nearly 80 kg. He is a very powerful dog, with a lot of strength, especially during breedings with other animals of the same species. Despite his past, CONOR is very affectionate, close to humans, and enjoys long walks. He returned from adoption, the compatibility with children not being possible, and displays resource guarding behavior with food. He will be placed as the sole animal. A home with a fenced yard, experienced adopters, and professional support are strongly recommended to ensure a successful adoption.

Conor a été récupéré lors d’une enquête pour maltraitance. Très maigre à son arrivée et atteint d’une maladie de peau aujourd’hui guérie, il a depuis repris du poids et affiche un gabarit impressionnant de près de 80 kg. C’est un chien très puissant, avec beaucoup de force, notamment lors des croisements avec ses congénères. Malgré son passé, Conor est très affectueux, proche de l’humain et apprécie les longues balades. Il est revenu d’adoption, l’entente avec les enfants n’ayant pas été possible, et présente de la protection de ressources sur la nourriture. Il sera placé en tant que seul animal. Une maison avec jardin clos, des adoptants expérimentés et un accompagnement professionnel sont fortement souhaités pour garantir une adoption réussie.

About CONOR

What life with CONOR looks like

CONOR is a young adult dog waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

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 CONOR, answered.

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