A adoption project for this animal? Send us an email () to receive the specific adoption questionnaire for the shelter (do not fill out the one on the website). A 7-day reflection period is mandatory between the moment you start your project (first email, phone, or physical contact) and the adoption. Petrus is a sensitive dog and must be adopted into a home that commits to attending at-home training sessions (obviously using non-coercive methods). He expresses his discomfort and fear during constraints (such as veterinary care) by growling, and may bite if the human does not respect his signals. It is necessary for him to be adopted into a home with a fenced yard, in a quiet environment without children. Near his master, playful, Petrus is greedy and learns quickly!. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

About Petrus

What life with Petrus looks like

Petrus is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Millau in Millau.

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 Petrus, answered.

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