Adopt Roky

Belgian Malinois · Male

Roky is a young Belgian Malinois. He will need a family that understands the needs of this breed, which will not hesitate to seek help in case of difficulties. He is obedient and knows how to be alone, but he has trouble channeling his energy. He will need a lot of exercise, he is a working and active dog. Like most Belgian Malinois, he is a very reactive dog. Do not hesitate to come meet him and talk to our caregivers. Children are strongly discouraged. His adoption fee is 315€, which includes veterinary fees (microchip identification, first vaccination, neutering, deparasitization). The shelter is open every day from Monday to Sunday (except Tuesdays) from 2 PM to 5 PM.

Roky est un jeune malinois. Il aura besoin d'une famille qui comprend les besoins de cette race, qui n'hésitera pas à se faire aider en cas de difficultés. Il est obéissant et sait rester seul, mais il a dû mal à se canaliser. Il lui faudra beaucoup d'exercices, c'est un chien de travail et d'activité. Comme la majorité des malinois c'est un chien très réactif. N'hésitez pas à venir le rencontrer et discuter avec nos soigneurs. Enfants fortement déconseillés. Son adoption s'élève à 315€, cela comprend les frais vétérinaires (identification par puce électronique, la primo-vaccination, la castration, le déparasitage). Le refuge est ouvert tous les jours du lundi au dimanche (sauf les mardis) de 14H à 17H.

About Roky

What life with Roky looks like

Roky is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

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 Roky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roky?
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 Roky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roky 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Roky 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 Roky 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 Roky 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.
