Adopt Odin

Male · Adult · 8 years

Odin is a gentle old fellow, a bit shy at first, who needs time and lots of tenderness to feel at ease. Once reassured, he becomes endearing and appreciates his human's presence at his own pace. He has long lived with Igor, who currently shares his box with him, and remains sociable with his other animals of the same species. Odin has already hunted and will therefore need to evolve in a secure environment, with a well-fenced yard and without cats. A home without young children will be preferred, to offer him peace and stability. He will need patience and a kind accompaniment, especially for leash walks, as he tends to pull. With time, consistency, and tenderness, Odin will be able to progress and become a faithful and fulfilled companion. Not suitable for homes with cats.

Odin est un gentil pépère, un peu timide au départ, qui a besoin de temps et de beaucoup de douceur pour se sentir en confiance. Une fois rassuré, il se montre attachant et apprécie la présence de son humain, à son rythme. Il a longtemps vécu avec Igor, avec qui il partage actuellement son box, et reste sociable avec ses congénères. Odin a déjà chassé et devra donc évoluer dans un environnement sécurisé, avec un terrain bien clos et sans chats. Un foyer de préférence sans jeunes enfants sera recherché, afin de lui offrir calme et stabilité. Il aura besoin de patience et d’un accompagnement bienveillant, notamment pour le travail des balades en laisse, car il a tendance à tirer. Avec du temps, de la constance et de la douceur, Odin pourra progresser et devenir un compagnon fidèle et épanoui.

About Odin

What life with Odin looks like

Odin is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at SPA Beaurepaire-en-Bresse in Beaurepaire.

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.

Note from the shelter: Has a history of hunting behavior, requires secure fenced area, needs leash training as he tends to pull

🇫🇷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 Odin, answered.

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