Holy

Dachshund · Unknown

"Holy" is a lively little dog, full of energy and very endearing! She loves long walks as much as she adores long, cozy naps on your lap or in your bed! Indeed, for Miss Holy, she will need to be ready to share your bed with her! Very social, Holy gets along with everyone, humans, dogs, and cats. The presence of another young, playful but also calm dog in the household would be requested for her balance. This helps her a lot, especially during absences, as she can tend to cry or get agitated when she is alone. Holy follows well on walks. She may sometimes bark when she sees something, but like many small dogs. She is a calm and composed little one once well-exercised. She can also be a bit stubborn at times. Holy is looking for an active family who can offer her beautiful walks, a playmate, and lots of love. If she can also accompany you everywhere, she will be thrilled! Currently in a foster home, Holy is not visible at the shelter. If she interests you, we invite you to fill out our Adoption Application – SPA 33 and to contact us via our contact form under the "association" then "contact us" section of our website. Applications will be reviewed, and we will only contact the family whose profile matches for Holy.

« Holy » est une petite chienne pétillante, pleine de vie et très attachante ! Elle adore les grandes balades autant que les longues siestes bien au chaud sur les genoux ou dans le lit ! Car oui, pour mademoiselle Holy, il faudra être prêt à partager votre lit avec elle ! Très sociable, Holy s’entend avec tout le monde humains, chiens et chats. La présence d’un autre jeune chien dans le foyer, joueur mais qui sait aussi être calme sera d’ailleurs demandée pour son équilibre. Cela l’aide beaucoup notamment lors des absences car elle peut avoir tendance à pleurer ou à s’agiter lorsqu’elle se retrouve seule. Holy suit très bien en balade. Elle peut parfois aboyer lorsqu’elle aperçoit quelque chose mais comme beaucoup de petits chiens. C’est une louloute calme et posée une fois bien dépensée. Elle peut aussi se montrer parfois un peu têtue. Holy recherche une famille active qui pourra lui offrir de belles promenades, un copain de jeu et beaucoup d’amour. Si elle peut en plus vous accompagner partout elle en sera ravie ! Actuellement en famille d’accueil, Holy n’est pas visible au refuge. Si elle vous intéresse, nous vous invitons à remplir notre Formulaire d’adoption – SPA 33 ET à nous écrire via notre formulaire de contact pour faire votre demande rubrique « l’association » puis « nous contacter » de notre site internet. Les demandes seront étudiées et nous recontacterons uniquement la famille dont le profil peut correspondre pour Holy.

About Holy

What life with Holy looks like

Holy is a small adult dachshund dog waiting at SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Holy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Holy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Holy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Holy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) 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 Holy 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 Holy 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 de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Holy 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.
