Napoléon

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Napoléon German Pointer – Male Born on 16.09.2017 Arrived at the shelter on 24/01/2026 Provenance: Abandoned Lifestyle: House or apartment Compatibility with children: No Compatibility with dogs: To be tested case by case Compatibility with cats: No Napoléon is first and foremost a big-hearted dog: sensitive, endearing, and deeply loving. Behind his gentle gaze hides a faithful companion, seeking a sincere and reassuring bond. He will touch your heart with his natural kindness and deep attachment to humans. When he confides, it is with touching loyalty that he will accompany your daily life. A true hunting dog at heart, Napoléon has retained a beautiful energy despite the years. Curious and dynamic, he loves to discover, sniff out, explore, and share walks with you. He will thrive with a family who appreciates walks and active moments. But behind this enthusiastic temperament hides also a dog who savors calm: after the adventure, he will be the first to seek a cozy corner to rest and enjoy peaceful moments, surrounded by his own. Returned to the shelter, Napoléon deserves a second chance today. He exhibits a resource guarding behavior concerning anything related to food (bowl, trash, etc.). This behavior simply requires understanding and consistent and respectful management. Napoléon will need adopters aware of his limits, capable of setting a reassuring and stable framework. Patient, consistent, and compassionate owners, ready to accept him as he is and to accompany him with serenity, will allow him to fully reveal all his qualities. With the right people, Napoléon will become a faithful, grateful, and deeply attached companion to his new family.

Napoléon Braque Allemand – Mâle Né le 16.09.2017 Arrivé au refuge le 24/01/2026 Provenance : Abandon Mode de vie : Maison ou appartement Entente enfants : Non Entente chiens : A tester au cas par cas Entente chats : Non Napoléon est avant tout un chien au grand cœur : sensible, attachant et profondément aimant. Derrière son regard plein de douceur se cache un compagnon fidèle, en quête d’un lien sincère et rassurant. Il saura vous attendrir par sa gentillesse naturelle et son profond attachement à l’humain. Lorsqu’il accorde sa confiance, c’est avec une loyauté touchante qu’il accompagnera votre quotidien. Véritable chien de chasse dans l’âme, Napoléon a conservé une belle énergie malgré les années. Curieux et dynamique, il aime découvrir, flairer, explorer et partager des balades à vos côtés. Il s’épanouira auprès d’une famille qui apprécie les promenades et les moments actifs. Mais derrière ce tempérament enthousiaste se cache aussi un chien qui savoure le calme : après l’aventure, il sera le premier à rechercher un coin douillet pour se reposer et profiter d’instants paisibles, entouré des siens. Revenu au refuge, Napoléon mérite aujourd’hui une seconde chance. Il présente un comportement de protection de ressources concernant tout ce qui touche à la nourriture (gamelle, poubelle, etc.). Ce comportement demande simplement d’être compris et encadré avec cohérence et respect. Napoléon aura besoin d’adoptants conscients de ses limites, capables de poser un cadre rassurant et stable. Des propriétaires patients, cohérents et bienveillants, prêts à l’accepter tel qu’il est et à l’accompagner avec sérénité, lui permettront de révéler pleinement toutes ses qualités. Avec les bonnes personnes, Napoléon deviendra un compagnon fidèle, reconnaissant et profondément attaché à sa nouvelle famille.

About Napoléon

What life with Napoléon looks like

Napoléon is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Lorraine Amance in Amance.

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 Napoléon, answered.

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