Prince

Male · Young · 2 years

PRINCE is a magnificent young Anatolian Shepherd dog, full of life and with a gaze as deep as his need to find a family worthy of his sensitivity. Gentle, affectionate, and playful, PRINCE is full of energy and loves walks. He needs masters who are present and invested, ready to offer him the education and stability he hasn’t yet had. For now, he pulls a lot on the leash and will need to learn to walk calmly by his human’s side. A good dose of patience and consistency will be essential. PRINCE can get along with some other animals of the same species, but he doesn’t like cats. He can exhibit resource guarding, which will require supervised work for him to learn to trust and let go. For this reason, we will not place him with young children. He is an intelligent, loyal, and very affectionate dog who simply asks to be understood and guided. He will need a home with a yard, as we will place him only in a house. An apartment life would not suit him. If you are looking for a faithful, dynamic, and cuddly companion and are ready to invest in his education with kindness, PRINCE is eagerly awaiting you!

Prince est un magnifique jeune chien de type Berger d’Anatolie, plein de vie et au regard aussi profond que son besoin de trouver une famille à la hauteur de sa sensibilité. Gentil, affectueux et joueur, Prince déborde d’énergie et adore les balades. Il a besoin de maîtres présents et investis, prêts à lui offrir l’éducation et la stabilité qu’il n’a pas encore eues. Il tire beaucoup en laisse pour le moment et devra apprendre à marcher calmement aux côtés de son humain. Une bonne dose de patience et de cohérence sera indispensable. Prince peut s’entendre avec certains congénères, mais il n’aime pas les chats. Il peut faire de la protection de ressource, ce qui nécessitera un travail encadré pour qu’il apprenne à faire confiance et à lâcher prise. Pour cette raison, nous ne le placerons pas avec de jeunes enfants. C’est un chien intelligent, loyal et très attachant, qui demande simplement à être compris et guidé. Il aura besoin d’un foyer avec jardin, car nous le placerons uniquement en maison. Une vie en appartement ne lui conviendrait pas. Si vous êtes à la recherche d’un compagnon fidèle, dynamique et câlin, et que vous êtes prêt à vous investir dans son éducation avec bienveillance, Prince vous attend avec impatience !

About Prince

What life with Prince looks like

Prince is a young adult dog waiting at SPA Colmar in France.

An young 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 Prince, answered.

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