Adopt Mister Big

Doberman · Male · Young · 1 year

Mister Big lives up to his name, both by his presence and his character. He is a very affectionate dog, deeply connected to humans, who seeks contact and enjoys moments of camaraderie with those who take care of him. However, he will need a bit of training to find his place in his future home. On walks, Master Big tends to pull on the leash, a point that will need to be worked on with patience and consistency. This will require an adopter ready to invest in his learning in order to give him a clear and reassuring framework. Behind his energy and strength lies a loving dog, who just wants to share and create a beautiful relationship with his human. With appropriate guidance, Mister Big can positively evolve and become a pleasant and loving companion.

Read original (fr)

Mister Big porte bien son nom, autant par sa présence que par son caractère. C’est un chien très câlin, profondément proche de l’humain, qui recherche le contact et apprécie les moments de complicité avec ceux qui s’occupent de lui. Il aura toutefois besoin d’un peu d’éducation pour trouver pleinement sa place dans son futur foyer. En balade, Master Big a tendance à tirer en laisse, un point qui devra être travaillé avec patience et cohérence. Cela demandera un adoptant prêt à s’investir dans son apprentissage afin de lui offrir un cadre clair et rassurant. Derrière son énergie et sa force se cache un chien affectueux, qui ne demande qu’à partager et à créer une belle relation avec son humain. Avec un accompagnement adapté, Mister Big pourra évoluer positivement et devenir un compagnon aussi agréable qu’attachant.

About Mister Big

What life with Mister Big looks like

Mister Big is a young adult doberman dog waiting at SPA de Besançon in France.

An 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mister Big, answered.

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