How do I contact the shelter about Houston?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche de Phoenix handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Houston on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Houston if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arche de Phoenix 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 Houston 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 Houston 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 Arche de Phoenix early rather than rehoming privately; they know Houston 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.

Houston

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Here is Houston a magnificent mixed-breed dog. Isa is a young volunteer from the shelter, who has been trying for over four months to habituate Houston to eating at the same place to be able to save Houston from its life as a stray wanderer. Houston is elusive and for several days Houston did not appear where food was left, until the day when Houston appeared and entered the trap cage to eat. Houston was examined by our veterinarian for a complete check-up, all blood tests are negative, Houston is very affectionate, social with other animals of the same species, playful, friendly, clean, and walks well on a leash. We are looking for a wonderful family for Houston who will take good care of Houston, offer beautiful walks, play, and entertainment, and lots of cuddles. Houston can live in a house with a garden or an apartment. Name: Houston. Breed: mixed-breed. Sex: male. Age: 10/2023 Height: 58 cm Weight:

About Houston

What life with Houston looks like

Houston is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Phoenix in arche de phoenix.

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.
