Adopt NOAN

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

NOAN is a sweet dog who is initially wary of humans but can be deterred at the fence. Once he feels more at ease, he becomes very affectionate and cuddly. He is playful and energetic, enjoying long walks. Training is ongoing. We will test him with other dogs of the same species soon, and we can tell you more then.

Read original (fr)

Noan est un chien adorable avec l'humain, méfiant au départ, il peut dissuader à la grille mais une fois en confiance, il se montre très affectueux, câlin. Il est joueur et dynamique, il apprécie les longues promenades. Éducation à poursuivre. Test congénères à venir, nous pourrons bientôt vous en dire plus.

About NOAN

What life with NOAN looks like

NOAN is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Forbach in Forbach.

An young 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 NOAN, answered.

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