Dobby

Pointer · Male · Adult · 5 years

Dobby is a friendly mixed breed German Shorthaired Pointer, born in August 2021. Dobby is a very kind, elegant and naturally calm dog. He is very pleasant to live with, even calming. He does not seem used to receiving affection but is still gentle during cuddle sessions, and he is also always enthusiastic about going for walks. Although he does not really react to other dogs at the shelter, on walks, interactions with his fellow dogs can be a bit energetic. The compatibility with cats is unknown. We are therefore looking for a warm and loving home for Dobby to finally give him the love he deserves and the company he loves so much. Dobby is quite tall on his legs, a sufficiently high fenced area would be preferable.

Dobby est un gentil chien croisé braque, né en Août 2021 Dobby est un chien très gentil, d’une grande élégance et d’un calme naturel. Il est très agréable à vivre, voire même apaisant. Il ne semble pas habitué à recevoir de la tendresse mais se montre quand-même doux lors des séances de câlins, et il est aussi toujours enthousiaste à l’idée de partir en promenade. S’il ne réagit pas vraiment aux autres chiens au refuge, en balade, les croisements avec ses congénères peuvent être un petit peu sportifs. La compatibilité chat est inconnue. Nous recherchons donc pour Dobby un foyer chaleureux et aimant pour lui apporter l’amour qu’il mérite enfin et cette compagnie qu’il aime tant. Dobby est assez haut sur pattes, un terrain clôturé suffisamment haut sera préférable.

About Dobby

What life with Dobby looks like

Dobby is an adult pointer dog waiting at S.P.A. du pays de Montbéliard — Refuge d in France.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Dobby, answered.

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