Olly

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 8 years

A adoption project for this animal? Send us an email () to receive the specific adoption questionnaire for the shelter (do not fill out the one on the website). A 7-day reflection period is mandatory between the moment you start your project (first email, phone, or in-person contact) and the adoption. Olly is a sensitive dog who very poorly tolerates his abandonment. Stressed and in need of attention, he is affectionate and playful with the people he trusts. Olly poorly tolerates changes and can become aggressive when he feels threatened, such as at the veterinarian or when an unknown person comes too abruptly towards him. Olly is sociable with most of his other animals of the same species but chases cats. Olly will need a calm home without children and an experienced owner. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Un projet d'adoption pour cet animal ? Envoyez nous un mail () pour recevoir le questionnaire adoption spécifique au refuge (ne remplissez pas celui du site internet). Un délai de réflexion de 7 jours est obligatoire entre le moment où vous débutez votre projet (1er contact mail, tel ou physique) et l'adoption. Olly est un chien sensible qui vit très mal son abandon. Stressé et en demande d’attention, il se montre câlin et joueur avec les personnes en qui il a confiance. Olly vit mal les changements et peut se montrer agressif lorsqu’il se sent menacé comme chez le vétérinaire ou lorsqu’un inconnu vient trop brutalement sur lui. Olly est sociable avec la plupart de ses congénères mais course les chats. Olly aura besoin d’un foyer calme sans enfants et d’un maître expérimenté.

About Olly

What life with Olly looks like

Olly is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at SPA Millau in Millau.

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 Olly, answered.

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