Can I adopt Locky if I live in another country?

Is Locky 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.

Adopt Locky

Male · Adult · 4 years

Locky is a loving dog who initially came in for social boarding. Unfortunately, his owner eventually decided to permanently entrust him to us, as they were unable to manage him on a daily basis. Adopted for over a year, Locky is unfortunately back at the shelter. He has difficulties managing frustration, especially in situations of restraint. The incident that led to his return occurred when he was grabbed by the collar, which created a trigger. Since then, special attention has been given to implementing a more respectful communication and appropriate alternatives. Despite this, Locky is a dog who deeply loves humans. He is a very "chill" dog on a daily basis, showing affection and attachment. On walks, Locky is making great progress. Interactions with cars and other dogs are going better and better, especially when his attention is captured with treats. Cyclists remain more difficult for him and will require appropriate supervision. In case of significant stress on a walk, Locky may try to escape the situation by turning around and pulling strongly to go back. He will therefore need someone capable of accompanying him with confidence and reading his emotions. When he feels safe, Locky shows a completely different side: he becomes playful, loves to run to burn off energy, and particularly enjoys "fight" games, always in a setting he knows and with people he trusts.

Locky est un chien attachant, arrivé initialement en pension sociale. Malheureusement, sa propriétaire a finalement préféré nous le confier définitivement, ne parvenant pas à le gérer au quotidien. Adopté pendant plus d’un an, Locky est malheureusement de retour au refuge. Il présente des difficultés dans la gestion de la frustration, notamment dans des situations de contrainte. L’incident ayant mené à son retour s’est produit lorsqu’il a été saisi au collier, ce qui a créé un antécédent. Depuis, une attention particulière est portée à la mise en place d’une communication plus respectueuse et d’alternatives adaptées. Malgré cela, Locky est un chien qui aime profondément les humains. C’est un chien très “chill” au quotidien, qui se montre affectueux et attachant. En promenade, Locky fait de très beaux progrès. Les croisements avec les voitures et les autres chiens se passent de mieux en mieux, notamment lorsqu’on capte son attention avec des friandises. Les cyclistes restent plus difficiles pour lui et demanderont un accompagnement adapté. En cas de stress important en balade, Locky peut chercher à fuir la situation en faisant demi-tour et en tractant fortement pour rentrer. Il aura donc besoin d’une personne capable de l’accompagner avec assurance et lecture de ses émotions. Lorsqu’il se sent en confiance, Locky montre une toute autre facette : il devient joueur, adore courir pour se défouler et apprécie particulièrement les jeux de “bagarre”, toujours dans un cadre qu’il connaît et avec des personnes en qui il a confiance.

What life with Locky looks like

Locky is a adult dog waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.
