HOOPS

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Hoops and Betty recently arrived from the animal shelter, and unfortunately, we know nothing about their past. Extremely close and inseparable, they must be adopted together. Today, these two little guys are very shy and fearful around humans. They’ll need a patient, gentle, and respectful family—one that’s willing to give them all the time they need to build trust at their own pace. They seem sociable with other dogs, but compatibility tests can be conducted at the shelter if you’re considering adopting them together. They’re looking for a calm home in a house with a fully fenced yard, as there’s a risk of them running away. The presence of young children should be avoided. With time and plenty of kindness, Hoops and Betty will finally thrive in a loving home.

Hoops et Betty sont arrivés récemment de la fourrière et nous ne connaissons malheureusement rien de leur passé. Très fusionnels, ils sont inséparables et devront être adoptés ensemble. Aujourd’hui, ces deux loulous se montrent très timides et craintifs envers les humains. Ils auront besoin d’une famille patiente, douce et respectueuse, prête à leur laisser le temps nécessaire pour prendre confiance à leur rythme. Ils semblent sociables avec leurs congénères, mais des tests pourront être réalisés au refuge en cas de cohabitation. Ils recherchent un foyer calme, en maison avec un jardin parfaitement clôturé en raison d’un risque de fugue. La présence de jeunes enfants est à éviter. Avec du temps et de la bienveillance, Hoops et Betty pourront enfin s’épanouir dans un foyer aimant.

About HOOPS

What life with HOOPS looks like

HOOPS is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Orgeval in Orgeval.

An young 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 HOOPS, answered.

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