Adopt Peabody

Male

Past: attached to an unidentified post Plus: adorable; gentle; affectionate; extremely kind Minus: Are you dreaming of a large dog with an even bigger heart? Then I'm perfect for you, a young gentle giant who finally deserves happiness. Found wandering, very thin and exhausted, it can't be said that I had an easy start in life. Weakened by this hard life, I fell ill and the shelter hospitalized me to regain strength. But even in my toughest moments, I remained true to myself: a true walking cuddle machine ❤️ The entire veterinary team fell under my charm – between treatments, I always found a way to beg for a pat, rest my big head on a leg, or melt someone's heart with my soft gaze. Today, I'm feeling better and I'm ready to write a new chapter of my life: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL REMAINS TO LIVE. All I need is one thing: a loving family that will offer me security, affection, and help me forget the distress of my arrival. If you're looking for a faithful, gentle, and grateful companion, me Peadbody have everything to fill your home... and probably your couch too. 🛋️❤️ Breed history: originally from Germany; also called German Braque with a hard coat; life expectancy 12 to 14 years; hunting dog; affectionate; willing; loyal; active; friendly; balanced; enduring; versatile; excellent scent.

Passé: attaché à un poteau non identifié Le + : adorable ; doux ; calin ; extrêmement gentil Le – : Vous rêvez d’un grand chien au cœur encore plus grand ? Alors je suis fais pour vous, un jeune géant tendre qui mérite enfin de connaître le bonheur. On m’a trouvé errant, très maigre et épuisé, on ne peut pas dire que j’ai eu un début de vie facile. Fragilisé par cette vie de galère, je suis tombé malade et le refuge m’a fait hospitaliser pour reprendre des forces. Mais même dans mes moments difficiles, je suis resté fidèle à moi-même : un véritable distributeur de câlins sur pattes ❤️ Toute l’équipe vétérinaire est tombée sous mon charme – entre deux soins, je trouvais toujours le moyen de réclamer une caresse, de poser ma grosse tête sur une jambe ou de faire fondre smn monde avec son regard plein de douceur. Aujourd’hui, je vais mieux et je suis prêt à écrire un nouveau chapitre de ma vie : LE PLUS BEAU ME RESTE A VIVRE. Il ne me manque qu’une chose : une famille aimante qui m’offrira la sécurité, l’affection et me fera oublier la détresse de mon arrivée. Si vous cherchez un compagnon fidèle, tendre et reconnaissant, moi Peadbody j’ai tout pour combler votre foyer… et probablement votre canapé aussi. 🛋️❤️ Histoire de race : originaire d’Allemagne ; appelé aussi braque allemand à poils dur ; espérance de vie 12 à 14 ans ; chien d’arrêt ; affectueux ; volontaire ; Loyal ; actif ; amicale ; équilibré ; endurant ; polyvalent ; excellent flair.

About Peabody

What life with Peabody looks like

Peabody is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at SPA de l 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 Peabody, answered.

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