Roland

Male

I am a large, friendly Griffon who is soon to have a health check. I am very gentle but quite powerful. Adoption costs a maximum of €50, but additional donations to the shelter are of course welcome. The animal is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and neutered. I have also had a senior health check, which includes a blood and urine test and a chest X-ray. As an adopter of a senior, you will benefit from the 30 million friends senior operation: "For all dogs or cats over 10 years old adopted from our shelter, the foundation agrees to cover any veterinary costs up to €1,000." A certificate of commitment and knowledge must be signed at least 7 days before adoption. You can sign it at the shelter to reserve an animal. The shelter is open every day from Monday to Sunday (except Tuesdays) from 2pm to 5pm.

Trouvé errant, je suis un grand griffon âgé (je passe bientôt un bilan de santé). Je suis très gentil mais plutôt puissant. 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 fondation s’engage à régler les éventuels frais vétérinaires à hauteur de 1000€. » Un certificat d'engagement et de connaissance doit être signé au moins 7 jours avant adoption. Vous pourrez le signer au refuge afin de pouvoir réserver un animal. Le refuge est ouvert tous les jours du lundi au dimanche (sauf les mardis) de 14H à 17H.

About Roland

What life with Roland looks like

Roland is a adult 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 Roland, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roland?
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 Roland on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roland 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 Roland 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 Roland 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 Roland 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.
