NEMO

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 8 years

NEMO lived in a shelter with poor living conditions. Even though we do not know his past in detail, it seems he has little knowledge of the outside world. Today, we are helping him discover it day by day. He is a lovable and rather friendly dog who will need time to reveal all his potential. NEMO still has a lot to learn, and he will need a patient, gentle, and caring family to accompany him in this new life. He previously lived with several other animals of the same species, but we do not yet know how he gets along with cats. For his well-being, we will prefer a home without young children. NEMO deserves to discover the safety, love, and stability of a real home. His future family must be ready to give him time to adapt and fully flourish.

FR·Show original

Nemo à vécu dans un foyer avec de mauvaises conditions de vie. Même si nous ne connaissons pas son passé en détails, tout porte à croire qu’il connaît peu le monde extérieur. Aujourd’hui, nous apprenons à le découvrir jour après jour. C’est un chien attachant et plutôt sympathique, qui aura besoin de temps pour révéler tout son potentiel. Nemo a encore beaucoup à apprendre, et il aura besoin d’une famille patiente, douce et bienveillante pour l’accompagner dans cette nouvelle vie. Il vivait auparavant avec plusieurs congénères, mais nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les chats. Pour son bien-être, nous privilégierons un foyer sans enfants en bas âge. Némo se comporte très sagement en voiture. Nemo mérite de découvrir la sécurité, l’amour et la stabilité d’un vrai foyer. Sa future famille devra être prête à lui laisser le temps de s’adapter et de s’épanouir pleinement.

About NEMO

What life with NEMO looks like

NEMO is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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 NEMO, answered.

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