Oslo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Aujourd’hui, nous vous présentons Oslo, trouvé non identifié il y a quelques mois. Devant sa crainte des hommes (beaucoup moins des femmes), la nouvelle équipe de l’ADA a choisi de concrétiser un partenariat avec Martine Gonçalves éducatrice canin et comportementaliste, afin de lui donner une chance de trouver une famille. L’objectif a alors été de lui faire découvrir le monde, avec des expériences positives et de multiplier les rencontres avec les humains dans plusieurs situations. Oslo s’est avéré très affectueux et fan des massages! Il est ok congénères et ignore les chats. Oslo peut désormais être mis à l’adoption. Il faudra bien sûr continuer les exercices de désensibilisation en l’amenant partout mais Oslo mérite largement qu’on se donne cette peine! Si vous pensez pouvoir lui offrir cette seconde chance, venez le rencontrer au Refuge ADA d’Espalion. Peut-être que votre plus belle histoire commencera avec lui.

About Oslo

What life with Oslo looks like

Oslo is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association de Défense Animaux (ADA d'Espalion) 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 Oslo, answered.

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