FULBERT

English Setter · Male · Adult · 8 years

FULBERT, aged 8 years, is a sensitive and very fearful dog towards humans. Meeting new people and new environments can take time, and he will need a patient, gentle, and respectful family to thrive. For his well-being, the presence of a balanced and social other dog within the household will likely be a significant asset. A canine companion can serve as a reference point, helping him gain confidence and facilitate his adaptation to his new life. FULBERT observes a lot of his other animals of the same species and feels more reassured when he can rely on them. Despite his apprehensions, he is an endearing dog who, once at ease, will create a sincere bond with his family. With time, kindness, and the help of a four-legged companion, FULBERT can progress and reveal his full personality. Come meet him!

About FULBERT

What life with FULBERT looks like

FULBERT is a adult english setter dog waiting at Bouguenais) in Nantes.

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 FULBERT, answered.

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