MARLEY

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Young · 3 years

Marley arrived at our shelter after being transferred from another shelter. Abandoned in the woods, this little heart waited a long time for someone to come and save him. He is shy when he doesn't know people, he always moves cautiously... but he opens up quickly to those who show him kindness. Once he trusts you, he becomes a gentle, clingy dog, grateful for every gesture of attention. He only asks for one thing: a family that will love him enough to make him forget his abandonment. Marley is a category 2 dog, we invite you to check the legislation.

Marley est arrivé chez nous suite à un transfert depuis un autre refuge. Abandonné en pleine forêt, ce petit cœur a longtemps attendu qu’on vienne le sauver. Timide quand il ne connaît pas, il avance toujours avec prudence… mais il s’ouvre vite à ceux qui lui montrent de la douceur. Une fois en confiance, il devient un chien tendre, collant, reconnaissant de chaque geste d’attention. Il ne demande qu’une chose : une famille qui l’aimera assez pour lui faire oublier l’abandon. Marley est un chien de catégorie 2, nous vous invitons à vous renseigner sur la législation.

About MARLEY

What life with MARLEY looks like

MARLEY is a young adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at SPA Hermeray in Hermeray.

A young 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting MARLEY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MARLEY?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Hermeray handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MARLEY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MARLEY if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Hermeray 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is MARLEY 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 MARLEY 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 Hermeray early rather than rehoming privately; they know MARLEY 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.
