DANDY

Podenco · Male · Adult · 7 years

Arrived on February 27, 2026, the lovely DANDY is up for adoption! He is currently at our shelter after a transfer from a pound, so his past is unknown. DANDY is a gentle dog, lively and affectionate. For safety, as he doesn't appreciate being constrained, he will be placed with a family without young children. If his future family already has one or more other this breeds, a meet-and-greet will be necessary to assess compatibility. However, no cohabitation is possible with our feline friends. DANDY is eagerly awaiting a wonderful family to start the rest of his life with, so don't keep him waiting!!. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

Arrivé le 27 Février 2026 Le joli Dandy est à l’adoption ! Il se trouve au refuge suite à un transfert de fourrière ; son passé est donc inconnu.. Dandy est un gentil chien, vif et affectueux. Par précaution, n’appréciant pas la contrainte, il sera placé auprès d’une famille sans enfants en bas âge. Si sa future famille possède déjà un ou plusieurs congénères, une rencontre devra avoir lieu afin d’évaluer les ententes. En revanche, pas de cohabitation possible avec nos amis félins. Dandy attend impatiemment une chouette famille pour le début du reste de sa vie alors ne le faites pas attendre !!

About DANDY

What life with DANDY looks like

DANDY is a small adult podenco dog waiting at SPA 65 Tarbes in Tarbes.

An 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 DANDY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about DANDY?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA 65 Tarbes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw DANDY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt DANDY if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA 65 Tarbes 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 DANDY 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 DANDY 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 65 Tarbes early rather than rehoming privately; they know DANDY 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.
