Adopt MALABAR

Rottweiler · Male · Adult · 5 years

MALABAR is a sublime Rottweiler who arrived from the pound with his sister Guimauve. Ceded on Leboncoin to a person who did not have the necessary permissions to hold a category dog, they were seized by authorities by the police. MALABAR is a little marvel and will delight Rottweiler enthusiasts. He is very affable with humans and very affectionate. He lets himself be handled without any issues. Still young, his education will continue, he is clean indoors and can tolerate a few hours of absence. He does not get along with cats. A placement with children will not be considered. We will prioritize a placement in the countryside or in a small town with a garden. MALABAR is evaluated 2/4. He is waiting for you!

Malabar est un sublime rottweiler qui nous arrive de fourrière avec sa copine Guimauve. Cédés sur Leboncoin a une personne qui n’avait pas du tout les autorisations nécessaires pour détenir un chien de catégorie, ils ont été saisie par la police. Malabar est une petite merveille et fera le bonheur des amateurs de la race. Il est très avenant avec les humains et très calin. Il se laisse manipuler sans soucis. Encore jeune, son éducation sera à poursuivre, il est propre en intérieur et peut supporter quelques heures d'absences. Il ne s'entend pas avec les chats. Un placement avec des enfants ne sera pas envisageable. Nous privilégierons un placement en campagne ou dans une petite ville avec un jardin. Malabar est évalué 2/4. Il n’attend plus que vous !

About MALABAR

What life with MALABAR looks like

MALABAR is a adult rottweiler dog waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting MALABAR, answered.

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