Newton

Male

I am Newton. I am a large hunting dog, and I often have my nose to the ground, a good fence will be necessary to prevent escape attempts. I am rather close to people, affectionate, I like contact but I don't know much about handling for care, you will have to teach me to stay calm during possible treatments. His adoption costs 315€, this includes veterinary fees (identification by microchip, first vaccination, neutering, deparasitization). The shelter is open every day from Monday to Sunday (it will not be visible on Thursday May 30th, on Tuesdays) from 2 PM to 5 PM.

Moi c'est Newton. Je suis un grand chien de type chien de chasse, j'ai d'ailleurs souvent la truffe au sol, une bonne clôture sera nécessaire afin d'éviter des fugues. Je suis plutôt proche de l'Homme, câlin, j'aime le contact mais je ne connais pas trop la manipulation pour des soins, il faudra m'apprendre à rester serein lors d'éventuels soins. Son adoption s'élève à 315€, cela comprend les frais vétérinaires (identification par puce électronique, la primo-vaccination, la castration, le déparasitage). Le refuge est ouvert tous les jours du lundi au dimanche (sa serai pas visible le jeudi 30 mai.uf les mardis) de 14H à 17H.

About Newton

What life with Newton looks like

Newton is a large adult dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Newton, answered.

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