Male crossbreed (neutered). Born in February 2022 (estimated). Arrived at the shelter: October 2025. Size: 53 cm / Weight: 18 kg Originating from Romania, Patch was found wandering as a puppy. He is a very kind and affectionate dog when he knows the person. He loves caresses, belly massages and willingly comes to seek hugs and kisses. Having never known family life, Patch will have a lot to discover. He will need time, patience and kindness to settle in and learn the habits of a household.

About PATCH

What life with PATCH looks like

PATCH is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at SPA de Sarrebourg 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 PATCH, answered.

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