Red

Belgian Malinois · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Au refuge depuis août 2024 Maison avec extérieur clôturé Je suis très gourmand. J'adore jouer, et je peux être très affectueux une fois que je me sens en confiance. Je ne suis pas très à l'aise avec les humains, surtout ceux que je ne connais pas bien. Je suis très sensible aux gestes brusques ou inattendus qui peuvent me surprendre. À cause de ce que j'ai vécu par le passé, je réagis fortement lorsque quelqu'un lève un bras avec un bout de bois ou un objet similaire, comme un parapluie. Le port de la muselière est recommandé. J'ai un fort instinct de prédation, je peux facilement courir après un sanglier ou d'autres animaux. Pour mes balades, il est recommandé de me promener en longe ou en laisse. Il faudrait travailler sur la gestion de ma prédation et sur mon rappel pour améliorer mon comportement en extérieur.

About Red

What life with Red looks like

Red is a medium-sized adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA89 Auxerre in spa89 auxerre.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Red, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Red?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA89 Auxerre handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Red on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Red if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA89 Auxerre 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Red 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 Red 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 SPA89 Auxerre early rather than rehoming privately; they know Red 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.
