OPRAH

Belgian Malinois · Female · Adult · 8 years

SOS ADOPTION – OPRAH & OLAF, 2 Malinois de 8 ans (inséparables) Oprah et Olaf sont deux Malinois de 8 ans, achetés chiots dans le même élevage. Très fusionnels, ils ont toujours vécu ensemble et nous souhaitons absolument les faire adopter en duo. Ils ont été abandonnés suite au départ de leur propriétaire en appartement. Depuis, ils vivaient temporairement dans un fourgon en attendant une solution… Ce sont deux chiens très attachants, gentils et affectueux une fois la confiance établie — ce qui se fait plutôt rapidement. Ils aiment les grandes balades, les moments de complicité et les câlins. Nous recherchons pour eux un foyer aimant, avec de l’espace et du temps à leur consacrer, afin de leur offrir enfin la stabilité et le confort qu’ils méritent ensemble.

About OPRAH

What life with OPRAH looks like

OPRAH is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Vichy (Brugheas) in Vichy.

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 OPRAH, answered.

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