Gimli

Male · Senior · 9 years

Mon histoire : Voici Gimli, un magnifique Beauceron de 9 ans qui attend sa famille pour la vie.Gimli est arrivé au refuge car sa propriétaire ne pouvait malheureusement plus s’occuper de lui pour des raisons de santé.En raison de sa race, nous rappelons que Gimli est un chien de grand gabarit qui aura besoin d’une famille prête à l’accueillir en tenant compte de sa taille.Il a toujours vécu en maison depuis qu’il est tout petit. C’est un chien qui possède de très bonnes bases d’éducation, qui est très affectueux avec l’humain et qui sait également se montrer bon gardien. Mon caractère : Ne vous fiez pas à ses 9 ans ! Gimli aime beaucoup les balades et reste très endurant pour son âge. Il appréciera une famille qui lui permettra de continuer à profiter de belles promenades et de bons moments en extérieur. Il a l’habitude de vivre avec des chats. Toutefois, comme pour toute nouvelle arrivée, une présentation adaptée et un temps d’adaptation seront nécessaires pour que chacun trouve sa place.Il peut vivre avec des enfants, mais attention : Gimli peut se montrer brusque avec eux, notamment en raison de son gabarit. Une vigilance sera donc indispensable. J'aime / J'aime pas : Il s’entend bien avec ses congénères, ce qui est un vrai plus !Côté caractère, Gimli apprécie énormément son confort. C’est un chien propre et non destructeur, qui aime profiter de la douceur d’un foyer après une belle balade.À 9 ans, Gimli a encore tant d’amour à donner ! Il mérite aujourd’hui de retrouver une maison, un panier douillet et surtout une famille qui prendra soin de lui jusqu’au bout.

About Gimli

What life with Gimli looks like

Gimli is a senior dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Gimli, answered.

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