Patou

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Our adorable Patou is desperately waiting for his family. He is a young, very kind puppy, so kind that he is bullied by the other dogs at the shelter. Alina has already had to move him to a different kennel. It has been more than a year now that he has been at the shelter. He was found in a forest, abandoned with his 4 brothers and 2 sisters, unfortunately one sister died from parvo. Patou is really a great puppy at the shelter, we sincerely hope he will be able to take the truck of happiness soon.

Notre adorable Patou attend désespérément sa famille. C’est un jeune loulou très gentil, tellement gentil, qu’il se fait embêter au refuge par les autres chiens. Alina a déjà dû le changer de box. Cela fait plus d’un an maintenant qu’il est au refuge. Il a été trouvé dans une forêt, abandonné avec ses 4 frères et ses 2 soeurs, malheureusement 1 soeur est décédée de la parvo. Patou est vraiment un super loulou au refuge, nous espérons de tout cœur qu’il pourra lui aussi bientôt prendre le camion du bonheur. Voir l’album

About Patou

What life with Patou looks like

Patou is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Refuge d 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 Patou, answered.

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