FALCKO

Belgian Malinois · Male · Senior · 12 years

FALCKO is a dog with a rather calm temperament who, after five years in the our shelter, deserves to enjoy a peaceful setting in retirement. He has an rather exclusive personality; ideally, he should spend his remaining days with someone living alone and receiving few visitors at home. He is dog-friendly if introductions are done properly, and he is more likely to be female. In case of stress or excessive agitation, he may adopt protective behaviors towards his owner. Medical: Senior dog - bilateral cataracts, severe arthritis (under Galiprant 1/2 days) Biochemical profile is rather good for his age :) Behavioral: - excellent with muzzles ++ - good with basic veterinary care such as vaccinations or injections Convenia, etc. This animal must be handled with a muzzle.

Falcko est un chien au tempérament plutôt calme qui, après cinq ans passés en refuge, mérite de profiter d’un cadre paisible pour sa retraite. Il a un caractère assez exclusif, l’idéal serait qu’il termine ses jours auprès d’une personne vivant seule et recevant peu de visiteurs à domicile. Il est ok chien si les présentations sont bien faites, plutôt femelle. En cas de stress ou d’agitation excessive, il peut adopter des comportements protecteurs envers son maître. Médicale : Chien âgé - cataracte bilatérale, arthrose ++ (sous Galiprant 1jours/2) Bilan biochimique plutôt bon pour son âge :) Comportement : - ok muselière ++ - ok soin de base chez le vétérinaire type vaccins ou injection Convenia, etc. - gourmand ++ - joueur ++ - câlin ++ - Évaluation 3/4 en 2022 à la suite d'une morsure - Évaluation 1/4 en 2025

About FALCKO

What life with FALCKO looks like

FALCKO is a senior belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Briançon in Briancon.

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 FALCKO, answered.

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