Adopt GHOST

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

GHOST is a large dog with an impressive presence, but behind his powerful stature lies a companion with a tender heart. This beautiful 6-year-old crossbreed of a mastiff is affectionate and close to humans, always seeking attention and shared moments. GHOST already knows the basics of training, but he will need an invested owner to continue progressing alongside him. His strength requires a bit of guidance, particularly for learning to better manage the leash and interactions with other dogs. With patience, consistency, and kindness, GHOST will reveal all his gentleness and attachment. He deserves a family that can offer him stability, presence, and peaceful walks. A powerful dog, yes — but above all, a big, sensitive soul in search of security and love.

Ghost est un grand chien à la présence impressionnante, mais derrière sa stature puissante se cache un compagnon au cœur tendre. Ce beau croisé dogue de 6 ans est affectueux et proche de l’humain, toujours en quête d’attention et de moments partagés. Ghost connaît déjà les bases de l’éducation, mais il aura besoin d’un maître investi pour continuer à progresser à ses côtés. Sa force nécessite un peu d’accompagnement, notamment pour apprendre à mieux gérer la laisse et les croisements avec d’autres chiens. Avec patience, cohérence et bienveillance, Ghost saura révéler toute sa douceur et son attachement. Il mérite une famille qui saura lui offrir stabilité, présence et de belles promenades apaisées. Un chien puissant, oui — mais avant tout un grand sensible en quête de repères et d’amour.

About GHOST

What life with GHOST looks like

GHOST is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Needs continued training for leash walking and socialization with other dogs

🇫🇷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 GHOST, answered.

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