Dédé

Belgian Malinois · Male · Adult · 7 years

Dédé has been at the shelter since 2021. He is a big, gentle Great Dane who is always ready to play and cuddle! He hasn't had an easy life before coming here, with the violence of his humans and fights with the family dogs. Yet, Dédé keeps his joie de vivre. Given his size, we will avoid young children and he will need to be the only pet in the household. At the shelter, he loves his bed and kong toys. He will need to learn to be alone gradually. He is very clean and knows the basics of training. He has been waiting for his turn for many years and we hope he will finally find the family he deserves. A temporary placement is possible.

FR·Show original

Dédé est en refuge depuis 2021. C'est un gros loulou au cœur tendre, toujours prêt pour jouer et faire des câlins ! Il n'a pas eu une vie facile avant son arrivée entre la violence de ses humains et les bagarres avec les chiens de la famille. Pourtant, Dédé garde la joie de vivre. Au vu de son gabarit, nous éviterons les enfants en bas âge et il devra être le seul animal du foyer. Au refuge il adore son panier et les jouets kong fourrés. Il faudra lui apprendre la solitude progressivement. Il est très propre et connaît les bases de l'éducation. Il attend son tour depuis de nombreuses années et nous espérons qu'il trouvera enfin la famille qu'il mérite. Un placement provisoire est possible.

About Dédé

What life with Dédé looks like

Dédé is an adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Chameyrat) in Tulle.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Dédé, answered.

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