Adopt Samson

Brittany Spaniel · Male · Adult · 4 years

Surfer, our 20-kilogram Brittany Spaniel, is presenting himself to find a family for the rest of his life. Surfer arrived at the shelter following the arrival of a baby in the household. He had been treated as the spoiled child of the family and had difficulty understanding and making way for a new being in the home. Surfer is a lively dog who loves to play fetch. He will be ready to accompany you on long walks where he can use his infallible sense of smell. Of course, his physical and mental needs must be met. Surfer tolerates other animals of the same species, but is not at all shareable, so he will prefer a home without other dogs. He does not get along with cats. We will avoid young children due to his reason for abandonment. Surfer is looking for a home without young children or other animals. A family that is ready to meet his physical and mental needs and give him an appropriate living environment. My story - Surfer arrived at the shelter following the arrival of a baby in the household.

About Samson

What life with Samson looks like

Samson is a medium-sized adult brittany spaniel dog waiting at Le refuge du Penthièvre et du Méné 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 Samson, answered.

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