O'Malley

Great Dane · Male · Adult · 8 years

Moi, c'est O'Malley. Je suis un croisé Dogue Allemand, arrivé très amaigri au refuge. Après une période de soins, j’ai repris pas mal de poids et je suis désormais prêt à rencontrer ma famille pour la vie ! Vous l’aurez compris, je suis un grand et gros chien et, comme beaucoup de chiens de mon gabarit, je n’ai pas toujours conscience de ma force. Il me faudra donc des maîtres capables de me tenir en laisse tout en poursuivant mon éducation. En effet, je peux parfois me montrer un peu brusque et il m’arrive de sauter sur les gens pour leur dire bonjour. J’ai tout de même quelques bases, comme le « assis », que j’exécute avec plaisir lorsqu’on me le demande. Je suis également très gourmand, ce qui sera un véritable atout pour poursuivre mon éducation. Je suis un vrai nounours avec les humains. Je suis sociable et peux me montrer très affectueux une fois que je connais la personne. Je suis tellement gentil que je n’ai même pas réagi aux chats lors de mon test. En revanche, je n’ai pas en

About O'Malley

What life with O'Malley looks like

O'Malley is an adult great dane dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting O'Malley, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about O'Malley?
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 O'Malley on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt O'Malley 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is O'Malley 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 O'Malley 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 O'Malley 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.
