Rocky

Male · Senior · 12 years

Je suis un sénior croisé boxer plutôt en forme pour mon âge et mon gabarit mais je désespère ; cela fait plus de 8 ans que je suis en box. Je cherche une famille expérimentée qui saura m’aimer pour le reste de ma vie. J’adore faire de la randonnée, courir, jouer au ballon et autres activités de plein air. J’aime les enfants s’ils sont grands (>10 ans) et j’ai aussi besoin d’un terrain clôturé pour me détendre. Je ne m'entends pas avec les autres animaux, c'est la raison de mon abandon, mais je donnerai tout mon amour à mon humain. Prêt à me rencontrer ? L’adoption est de maximum 50€, un don supplémentaire est bien sûr possible pour le refuge. L'animal est pucé, vacciné, déparasité et castré. Il a aussi bénéficié d’un bilan de santé sénior qui comprend un bilan sanguin et urinaire et une radio thoracique. En tant qu’adoptant d’un sénior, vous bénéficierez de l’opération doyen de 30 millions d’amis : « pour tous les chiens ou chats de plus de 10 ans adoptés dans notre refuge, la fondatio

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a senior dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 Rocky, answered.

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