Adopt RHAPSODY

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Hi, my name is Rhapsody! I was picked up a few days after my birth by another organization, who hand-raised me on formula. I came to the shelter after being abandoned at the pound. I'm very cute with the team and just a bit shy at first. I need to find adopters who are gentle, patient, and consistent. I'm social with other animals of the same species outdoors but not with cats. I would prefer to be the only furball in my home. I have good basic manners, I'm house-trained, non-destructive, and well-behaved in the car. I could live in a house with or without a yard, in a quiet environment, in the countryside or a small town. I could live with children but not too young. I love long country walks, splashing in water, and chewing on branches—I'm a true lumberjack!

Coucou, moi c'est Rhapsody ! J'ai été récupéré quelques jours après ma naissance par une autre association qui m'a élevé au biberon. Je suis arrivé au refuge suite à mon abandon en fourrière. Je suis très mignon avec l'équipe juste un brin timide au début. J'ai besoin de trouver des adoptants doux, patients et cohérents. Je suis sociable avec mes congénères en extérieur mais pas avec les chats. Je préfèrerai être le seul loulou de mon foyer. J'ai de bonnes bases d'éducation, je suis propre, non destructeur, sage en voiture. Je pourrais vivre en maison avec ou sans jardin, dans un environnement calme, en campagne ou dans une petite ville. Je pourrais vivre avec des enfants mais pas trop jeunes. J'adore les longues promenades en campagne, patauger dans l'eau et mâchouiller des branches, je suis un vrai bucheron !

About RHAPSODY

What life with RHAPSODY looks like

RHAPSODY is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Hermeray in Hermeray.

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 RHAPSODY, answered.

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