Murdoch

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Et voici lMurdoch, qui a été retrouvé errant dans la campagne. Il garde un comportement craintif de son passé mais son besoin de renifler le fait aller de l’avant et il a fait d’énormes progrès lors des balades au-milieu du monde. C’est un chien qui demandera de la patience à la famille qui l’adoptera mais il ne demande qu’à accorder sa confiance. Il est sociable, aime ses congénères et les chats, c’est le chien qui aime bien se faire oublier mais qui a énormément à apporter. Tous nos animaux sont identifiés, stérilisés et vaccinés. Si vous pensez pouvoir lui offrir une seconde chance, venez le rencontrer au Refuge ADA d’Espalion, peut-être que votre plus belle histoire commencera avec lui.

About Murdoch

What life with Murdoch looks like

Murdoch is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association de Défense Animaux (ADA d'Espalion) in France.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Murdoch, answered.

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