How do I contact the shelter about JUNIOR?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Amiens) 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 — Amiens) 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 Amiens) 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?

Adopt JUNIOR

German Shepherd · Male · Senior · 11 years

Upon his arrival at the pound, we know nothing of his past, but one thing is certain: life in the kennel is particularly difficult for him. Very stressed by this environment, he begins to bite his legs and tail. Behind this sensitivity lies an exceptional dog. JUNIOR is an adorable grandpa, a large, gentle and charming presence, very close to humans, affectionate and greedy for treats. He particularly loves being scratched on the muzzle. We are searching for a calm and soothing environment for him, with a primarily outdoor life. JUNIOR being a fugitive, a well-secured yard will be essential. He does not appreciate overly intrusive handling and prefers to evolve calmly among people who respect his pace. JUNIOR does not get along with cats, and a placement without young children will be preferred. His compatibility with females may be considered on a case-by-case basis. He is eligible for a Permanent Foster Home.

son arrivé en fourrière, Nous ne connaissons rien de son passé, mais une chose est certaine : la vie en box est particulièrement difficile pour lui. Très stressé par cet environnement, il en vient à se mordiller les cuisses et la queue. Derrière cette sensibilité se cache pourtant un chien exceptionnel. Junior est un adorable papi, un grand gabarit aussi doux qu’attachant, très proche de l’humain, câlin et gourmand. Il raffole particulièrement des gratouilles sur le museau. Nous recherchons pour lui un environnement calme et apaisant, avec une vie principalement en extérieur. Junior étant fugueur, un terrain bien sécurisé sera indispensable. Il n’apprécie pas les manipulations trop insistantes et préfère évoluer tranquillement auprès de personnes respectueuses de son rythme. Junior ne s’entend pas avec les chats, et un placement sans jeunes enfants sera privilégié. Son entente avec les femelles pourra être envisagée au cas par cas. Il est éligible en Famille d’Accueil Définitive.

About JUNIOR

What life with JUNIOR looks like

JUNIOR is a large senior german shepherd dog waiting at Amiens) in Poulainville.

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.

Note from the shelter: Self-harm from stress (chews legs and tail), needs secure high fencing, escape artist, must be only pet
