Adopt JUNIOR

Male · Adult · 7 years

JUNIOR is a very affectionate little one and very close to his humans, but he hasn't had an easy life: he has always lived in a shelter, and life in a home can be very stressful for him if his humans aren't with him… JUNIOR will get along with females, and this can help calm his stress, but he will mainly need the presence of his adopters. If he ends up alone outside, JUNIOR may try to escape. On walks, he loves to run, sniff around, do agility, and he adores learning new things. There should be no children in the household or around JUNIOR, and he is not compatible with cats.

Junior est un loulou très câlin et très proche de ses humains mais il n’a pas connu une vie facile : il a toujours vécu en chenil et la vie en maison peut être quelque chose de très stressant pour lui si ses humains ne sont pas avec lui… Junior pourra s’entendre avec des femelles et cela pourra l’aider à calmer son stresse mais il devra surtout compter sur la présence de ses adoptants. S’il se retrouve dehors tout seul, Junior peut fuguer. En promenade, il aime courir, renifler, faire de l’agility et il adore apprendre des nouvelles choses. Il ne faudra pas d’enfants dans le foyer ni l’entourage de Junior et il n’est pas compatible avec les chats.

About JUNIOR

What life with JUNIOR looks like

JUNIOR is a large adult dog waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 JUNIOR, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about JUNIOR?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Angoumois 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 — Refuge Angoumois 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 Refuge Angoumois 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.
