OLYMPE

Male · Adult · 7 years

Olympe is a magnificent Argentine mastiff who hasn't had an easy past. As a result, he remains very sensitive and wary. Multiple visits will be necessary. Once he feels safe, he is a sweet, close-to-human dog, calm, and affectionate. He will need a quiet environment without other pets or children at home. Health-wise, Olympe is prone to ear infections, so weekly ear cleaning will be required. Knowledge of cooperative care will be beneficial. For Olympe's well-being, please research gentle education and calming signals. His video:. This animal needs to be the only pet in the home.

About OLYMPE

What life with OLYMPE looks like

OLYMPE is a adult dog waiting at SPA Orgeval in Orgeval.

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 OLYMPE, answered.

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