Pablo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

American Staffordshire Terrier, DE-CATEGORIZED. Date of birth: 05/10/2020. Dogs: Good introductions will be essential if you already have a dog, with the option to separate them during absences. Cats: no contact. Children: not for young children. His adoption contract was ready to be signed by his foster carer, but he decided to bite a man's hand (4 stitches..) during a BBQ. Food-guarding is a serious issue with some dogs! Well, we admit it, we should have put you "in your place" much sooner. Aside from this problem, PABLO loves to play, he loves cuddles and belly rubs, in short, he's a good boy. He also tends to pull on the leash. So he needs an owner with a firm grip who can hold him, since he weighs a solid 40 kg of muscle. You will understand that for PABLO, we are not looking for novices in this area, but for people who have already had dogs, already had large dogs, who know their temperament, people who will want to get involved in his training, but not alone: accompanied by our trainers, with whom we work. In short, PABLO is a sweet dog who doesn't know how to manage his emotions, who can quickly become overexcited, and who

American Staffordshire Terrier DÉCATÉGORISÉ Date de naissance: 05/10/2020 Chiens: De bonnes présentations seront impératives si vous avez déjà un chien avec possibilité de séparer lors des absences // Chats: pas de contact // Enfants: Pas en bas âge Son contrat d’adoption était prêt à être signé par sa FA, et celui-ci a trouvé bon de mordre monsieur à la main (4points de suture..) lors d’un BBQ.. l’appel de la nourrtiure pour certains chiens est terrible ! Bon on te l’accorde, on aurait dû te mettre « à ta place » bien avant. Outre ce problème PABLO aime jouer, il aime les câlins, les papouilles, bref, c’est une bonne patte.Il a également tendance à tirer en laisse. Il faudra donc un maître avec de la poigne capable de le tenir car il fait tout de même 40kg de muscles. Vous comprendrez que pour PABLO, on ne recherche pas des novices en la matière, mais des personnes qui ont déjà eu des chiens, déjà eu des molosses, qui connaissent leur tempérament, des personnes qui voudront s’impliquer dans son éducation, mais pas seul, accompagnées de nos éducateurs avec qui on bosse. En bref, PABLO est un gentil chien qui ne sait pas gérer ses émotions, qui peut vite monter en excitation et qui

About Pablo

What life with Pablo looks like

Pablo is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Volcanimo 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, and shelters often cover sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and a passport. Confirm with the shelter what is included. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pablo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pablo?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Volcanimo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pablo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pablo if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Volcanimo whether they will for Pablo, what they require (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 Pablo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Pablo. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Volcanimo, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pablo isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Volcanimo about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pablo 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.
