NEMO

Male · Senior · 9 years

Son histoire Némo a perdu son propriétaire, âgé. Sa maîtresse, seule, n'arrivait plus à s'en occuper. Voilà comment il est arrivé chez nous. Il a toujours vécu dehors, nous ne savons donc pas comment il peut se comporter à l'intérieur. C'est un chien très affectueux, doux et gentil. Il ne tire pas du tout en laisse. Il peut aboyer un peu, sa race de chasse veut cela, et il garde assez bien mais il vit sa vie assez calmement. Il peut même apprécier un moment de jeu. Il semble toutefois marqué : ses grandes oreilles lui valent des otites récurrentes, il ne voit pas très bien et fait plus que son âge. Côté société, il s'entend avec ses congénères en balade (moins en cohabitation mais la douleur de ses oreilles en est peut-être la cause) et il peut courir après les chats quand il les voit. Némo a donc besoin d'un endroit douillet pour couler une douce vieillesse. Pas très exigeant, la chaleur d'un foyer et d'une famille seront ses seules demandes.

About NEMO

What life with NEMO looks like

NEMO is a senior dog waiting at SPA de l 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. 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 de l 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 de l 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 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 de l 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.
