JUNIOR

Belgian Malinois · Male · Senior · 11 years

I arrived at the shelter following the death of my human partner. Now I have to grieve for him and for my old life. Everyone will tell you: "JUNIOR, he's a great dog. He's so kind, he's affectionate." In short, you understand, I will be a great companion. Even though I'm a senior with some arthritis issues, I enjoy short walks and I'm still playful. I will be happy in a calm home that can offer me a cozy bed, short walks, playtime, and lots of love. See you soon.

Je suis arrivé au refuge suite au décès de mon binôme humain. Maintenant je dois faire son deuil et le deuil de mon ancienne vie. Tout le monde vous le dira : "Junior, c'est un super loulou. Il est tellement gentil, il est affectueux." Bref vous l'avez compris, je serai un super compagnon. J'ai beau être un sénior et avoir des soucis d'arthrose, j'aime faire des petites promenades et je suis également encore joueur. Je serai heureux dans un foyer calme pouvant m'offrir un panier douillet, des petites promenades, des parties de jeux et beaucoup d'amour. À bientôt.

About JUNIOR

What life with JUNIOR looks like

JUNIOR is a senior belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting JUNIOR, answered.

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