PRINCE

Pointer · Male · Young · 1 year

Prince is coming to us from the pound. He's a young, very dynamic dog who is close to humans and full of enthusiasm. He gets along well with other dogs, and we will prioritize placement with an even-tempered first dog who can help him settle down and progress. His training needs to be continued on several points: self-control, walking on a leash, and managing loneliness. Prince has trouble being alone; the presence of another dog or very available adopters ready to work on this aspect will be a real plus for him. He can live in a house or apartment, as long as he gets enough daily walks and activities. A placement in the countryside is preferred. He cannot live with cats. Prince could potentially live with teenagers, but a household without young children would be preferable.

FR·Show original

Prince nous arrive de fourrière. C’est un jeune chien très dynamique, proche de l’humain et plein d’enthousiasme. Il s’entend bien avec ses congénères, et nous privilégierons un placement avec un premier chien équilibré et bien dans ses pattes, qui pourra l’aider à se poser et à progresser. Son éducation sera à poursuivre sur plusieurs points : auto-contrôles, marche en laisse et gestion de la solitude. Prince a en effet du mal à rester seul ; la présence d’un autre chien ou d’adoptants très disponibles et prêts à travailler cet aspect sera donc un vrai plus pour lui. Il pourra vivre en maison comme en appartement, à condition de bénéficier de suffisamment de sorties et d’activités au quotidien. Un placement à la campagne sera privilégié. Il ne pourra pas vivre avec des chats. Prince pourra éventuellement vivre avec des adolescents, mais un foyer sans jeunes enfants sera préférable.

About PRINCE

What life with PRINCE looks like

PRINCE is a young adult pointer dog waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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 Rennes 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 Rennes 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 Rennes 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.
