POGO

Belgian Malinois · Male · Adult · 8 years

POGO still behaves like a baby, he is affectionate, playful, he needs company. Easy to take out of the box, Pogo is very pleasant on walks, he is greedy and knows how to sit to get a treat. He likes the presence of humans he knows, but takes his time with new meetings. A lovely dog who LOVES to play with the ball! He brings it to our feet or delicately so we can take it! Very playful. There were 2 dogs in the woods nearby but he showed no interest, it's more interesting to go get the ball. Very cute. Always up for an adventure…

POGO se comporte encore comme un bébé il est câlin, joueur, il a besoin de présence. Facile en sortie de box, Pogo est très agréable en balade, il est gourmand il sait s’asseoir pour avoir une friandise. Il aime la présence des humains qu’il connaît, mais prend son temps avec les nouvelles rencontres. Chien adorable qui ADORE jouer à la balle ! Il la ramène à nos pieds ou délicatement pour qu’on la prenne ! Très joueur. Il y avait 2 chiens dans le bois à côté mais il n’a montré aucun intérêt, c’est plus intéressant d’aller chercher la balle Très mignon Toujours partant pour une aventure… et pour vos câlins

About POGO

What life with POGO looks like

POGO is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Poitiers in Poitiers.

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 POGO, answered.

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