POPEYE

Mixed Breed · Male

POPEYE, at the shelter for 18 days I am POPEYE, a lovely pup who arrived at the shelter from the pound as a stray and unfortunately was never claimed, so we don't know my past. I am very gentle, initially fearful when I don't know, probably because I am unfortunately partially blind (I can distinguish shapes) and quite deaf. I was terrified when I arrived at the shelter but thanks to the kindness and goodwill of the caretakers and volunteers, I now welcome visits, petting, and walks with pleasure. I get along with my fellow animals of the same species with whom I am in the same enclosure, and it might be better for me to live with another well-adjusted and calm dog due to my hearing impairment. I hope to find a warm second home with patient and calm masters who are ready to meet my needs and love me until the end. See you soon for a visit!

Popeye, au refuge depuis 18 jours Je m’appelle Popeye, joli toutou arrivé au refuge par la fourrière car trouv errant et malheureusement jamais réclamé, on ne connait donc pas mon passé. Je suis très gentil, craintif au départ quand je ne connais pas, sûrement parce que je suis malheureusement mal-voyant (je distingue les formes) et assez sourd. J’étais terrorisé à mon arrivé au refuge mais grâce à la douceur et la bienveillance des soigneurs et des bénévoles j’accueille avec plaisir les visites, les carresses et les balades. Je m’entends avec mes congénères avec lesquels que suis en parc et il serait peut être mieux pour moi de vivre avec un autre chien bien dans ses pattes et assez calme du fait de ma surdité. J’espère trouver un duux foyer chaleureux avec des maîtres patients et calmes, prêts à répondre à mes besoins et m’aimer jusqu’à la fin. A bientôt pour une visite !

About POPEYE

What life with POPEYE looks like

POPEYE is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Lagord / La Rochelle in Lagord.

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 POPEYE, answered.

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