Rider

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Rider Moi, c'est Rider, a mixed gascon of 4 years. Retired due to mistreatment, I am looking for my new family. Shy when I don't know, it will take me time to trust. Once I am in trust, I am joyful and affectionate with my master. I am also very playful with my other animals of the same species. And I get along with the cats.

RIDER Moi, c’est RIDER un croisé gascon de 4 ans. Retiré pour mauvais traitement, je recherche ma nouvelle famille. Timide lorsque je ne connais pas, il me faudra du temps pour accorder ma confiance. Une fois en confiance, je suis joyeux et affectueux avec mon maître. Je suis également très joueur avec mes congénères. Et je m’entends avec les chats.

About Rider

What life with Rider looks like

Rider is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

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 Rider, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rider?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rider on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rider if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Rider 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 Rider 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rider 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.
