POP

Male · Senior · 10 years

Son histoire Pop est un pauvre chien qui n’a pas eu la belle vie. Récupéré après le décès de son propriétaire, il vivait, avec cinq autres chiens, soit dans un chenil, soit dans une véranda couvertes d’immondices. A son arrivée, il souffrait d’otites purulentes, en bonne voie de guérison maintenant mais qui l’ont fait beaucoup souffrir. Assez peureux, il est toutefois très attiré par l’humain dont il découvre qu’il peut être gentil, que sa main peut caresser. Il apprend à se promener en laisse, chose qu’il ne connaissait pas et cette découverte l’enchante. Très sociable avec ses congénères, il cohabite avec les mâles, les femelles, les chats. Il se peut qu’il y ait au début quelques soucis de propreté, ou pas. Il est parti en famille d’accueil où il a malheureusement révélé des aptitudes de fugueur : il a tourné dans Valréas quelques jours puis est tranquillement rentré au refuge à Grillon, alors qu’il n’avait fait le trajet que deux fois, en voiture !! A part ce trait de caractère que nous n’avions pas soupçonné et qui nécessitera donc un bonne clôture, Pop est doux comme un agneau et pourra vivre avec des enfants. Sa maigreur est due en partie à une insuffisance rénale débutante : il n’a pas de traitement, juste une nourriture adaptée (compter environ 85 euros de croquettes par mois). Il faudra à Pop un jardin mais nous souhaitons pour lui qu’il puisse vivre avec ses humains, à l’intérieur. Il a besoin maintenant d’être chouchouté, de reprendre un peu de sérénité, de confort et de repos. A son âge, il est éligible à l’opération Doyens de 30 Millions d’Amis qui prend en charge jusqu’à 1000 euros de frais vétérinaires.

About POP

What life with POP looks like

POP is a senior dog waiting at SPA de l in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 POP, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about POP?
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 POP on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt POP 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 POP 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 POP 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 POP 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.
