OSLO

Male · Young · 3 years

Oslo arrived at the shelter following an investigation into neglect and malnutrition. He is a sensitive dog who remains somewhat fearful. Having lacked both human interaction and socialization with other dogs, he is gradually discovering all the elements that make up a fulfilling dog life. Curious and eager to learn, he will nevertheless need a patient, gentle, and caring family—one that understands the importance of giving him time to build trust in the face of the unknown. Very food-motivated, Oslo is especially responsive to treats, which will greatly facilitate his training through positive reinforcement. However, it will be essential to gently teach him that he will never again lack anything, so that he can develop a more peaceful relationship with food. With time, patience, and plenty of love, Oslo can fully realize his potential and become a loyal and endearing companion.

FR·Show original

Oslo est arrivé au refuge à la suite d'une enquête pour négligence et sous-nutrition. C'est un chien sensible haut émotionnellement. Ayant manqué de contacts avec les humains comme avec ses congénères, il découvre progressivement tout ce qui compose une vie de chien épanoui. Curieux et désireux d'apprendre, il aura cependant besoin d'une famille patiente, calme et bienveillante, qui saura lui laisser le temps de prendre confiance face à l'inconnu et lui apprendre à gérer ses émotions. Très gourmand, Oslo est particulièrement réceptif aux friandises, ce qui facilitera son éducation par le renforcement positif. Il faudra néanmoins lui apprendre, avec douceur, qu'il ne manquera désormais plus jamais de rien, afin qu'il puisse développer une relation plus sereine avec la nourriture. Oslo a également découvert la balle, aujourd'hui c'est son allié. Avec du temps, de la patience et beaucoup d'amour, Oslo pourra révéler tout son potentiel et devenir un compagnon fidèle et attachant.

About OSLO

What life with OSLO looks like

OSLO is a young adult dog waiting at SPA Briançon in Briancon.

An young 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 OSLO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about OSLO?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Briançon 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 — SPA Briançon 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 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 SPA Briançon 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
