Orso

Male

I am Orso. I arrived with Ubald, both of us found wandering, did our owner have a problem not coming to claim us? Unlike Ubald, I am very shy but not at all aggressive, I will need time to be less afraid of humans. Adoption costs 315€, which includes veterinary fees (microchipping, initial vaccination, castration, deworming). A commitment and knowledge certificate must be signed at least 7 days before adoption. You can sign it at the shelter to reserve an animal. The shelter is open every day from Monday to Sunday (except Tuesdays) from 2pm to 5pm.

On m'a nommé Orso. Je suis arrivé avec Ubald, tous les deux trouvés errants, notre propriétaire a-t-il eu un problème pour ne pas venir nous réclamer ? Contrairement à Ubald, je suis très timide mais pas du tout agressif, j'aurai besoin de temps pour avoir moins peur des humains. J'ai eu des soins aux oreilles et je suis sensible à ce niveau là, il faudra donc bien surveiller. Son adoption s'élève à 315€, cela comprend les frais vétérinaires (identification par puce électronique, la primo-vaccination, la castration, le déparasitage). Un certificat d'engagement et de connaissance doit être signé au moins 7 jours avant adoption. Vous pourrez le signer au refuge afin de pouvoir réserver un animal. Le refuge est ouvert tous les jours du lundi au dimanche (sauf les mardis) de 14H à 17H.

About Orso

What life with Orso looks like

Orso is a adult 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Orso, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Orso?
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 Orso on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Orso 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Orso 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 Orso 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 Orso 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.
