Nascar

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Nascar is a strong, fearful dog. He arrived at the shelter as a puppy in 2017. It has now been 6 years that he has been at the shelter and has only known his crate. Nascar is very timid, he avoids contact, runs to hide in his kennel whenever someone enters his crate and only comes out when the volunteers are at a distance. He will need a patient and gentle family to help him regain confidence. 🌼 Information about the dog 🌼 Estimated date of birth: 05.04.2017 Estimated weight: +/- 17 kg At the shelter since: 09.07.

Nascar est un loulou fort craintif. Il est arrivé chiot au refuge, en 2017. Cela fait maintenant 6 ans qu’il est au refuge et qu’il n’a rien connu d’autres que son box. Nascar est très peureux, il fuit le contact, part se cacher dans sa niche dès que quelqu’un rentre dans son box et n’en ressort que quand les bénévoles sont à distance. Il aura besoin d’une famille patiente et douce pour lui redonner confiance. 🌼 Informations sur le loulou 🌼 Date de naissance estimée : 05.04.2017 Poids estimé : +/- 17 kg Au refuge depuis : 09.07.2017 Voir l’album

About Nascar

What life with Nascar looks like

Nascar is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Refuge d in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 Nascar, answered.

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