PILOU

Male · Adult · 7 years

PILOU is a large dog with a golden heart! Calm and confident, he would appreciate a house with a yard and especially outdoor walks. Very clean, non-destructive, he is well-behaved indoors. He is social with females but not with males; and he absolutely hates our feline friends!

FR·Show original

Pilou est un grand chien avec un cœur en or ! Calme, confiant, il appréciera une maison avec un terrain et surtout des promenades en extérieur. Très propre, non destructeur, il est sage en intérieur. Il est sociable avec les femelles, mais pas avec les mâles; et n'aime pas du tout nos amis les chats !

About PILOU

What life with PILOU looks like

PILOU is a large adult dog waiting at SPA Mirepoix in Mirepoix.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 PILOU, answered.

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