Adopt Scalp

Shih Tzu · Male

Type/Breed: Shih Tzu X Jack Russel (non LOF) Chip Number: 250269610192305 Character/Description: Scalp is a very affectionate dog who only asks for love and tenderness. He loves cuddles and shared moments, even though he still has some trouble dealing with calmness or distance once the caresses are over. ✅ House training & Absence: Scalp is house trained and knows how to stay alone. However, he may scratch himself due to stress if the absence seems too long. The duration he can tolerate depends on his mood and the attention he received before leaving. 🎓 Training: Only "sit" is mastered for now, but he is full of good will and will learn easily with patience and gentleness. 🏡 His needs: Scalp needs a quiet corner for his bed, where he can rest peacefully without being disturbed. He is looking for a loving family that will offer him presence, cuddles, and stability. As he has already experienced 4 near consecutive abandonments, he finally dreams of a family for life. He is an adorable sensitive dog, who may have moments of anxiety and itching. During these episodes, no panic: he puts on his superhero collar and continues to be brave! He is looking for a gentle and stable family, ready to offer him security, love... and some super-powers of patience. Adoption fee: 282 euros (membership included) Adoption outside of France is entirely possible. Adopting must also be able to visit the foster family to meet the animal. Vaccinated: YES + rabies and passport To adopt, please complete this form: have this certificate completed by a veterinarian or an ASV and present it to us after signing it: Finally, this dog does not suit you or is no longer available?

Type/Race : Shih Tzu X Jack Russel (non LOF) N° de puce : 250269610192305 Caractère/Description : Scalp est un chien très affectueux qui ne demande qu’amour et tendresse. Il adore les câlins et les moments partagés, même s’il a encore un peu de mal à gérer le calme ou la distance une fois les caresses terminées. ✅ Propreté & Absence : Scalp est propre et sait rester seul. Il peut cependant se gratter par stress si l’absence lui semble trop longue. La durée qu’il tolère dépend de son humeur et de l’attention reçue avant le départ. 🎓 Éducation : Seul le « assis » est acquis pour l’instant, mais il est plein de bonne volonté et apprendra facilement avec patience et douceur. 🏡 Ses besoins : Scalp a besoin d’un coin calme pour son panier, où il pourra se reposer sereinement, sans être dérangé. Il cherche une famille aimante qui saura lui offrir présence, câlins et stabilité. Comme il a déjà connu 4 abandons quasi successifs, il rêve enfin d’une famille pour la vie. C’est un adorable chien sensible, qui peut avoir des moments d’anxiété et de démangeaisons. Lors de ces épisodes, pas de panique : il met sa collerette de super-héros et continue d’être courageux ! Il cherche une famille douce et stable, prête à lui offrir sécurité, amour… et quelques super-pouvoirs de patience. Frais d’adoption : 282 euros (adhésion comprise) L’adoption hors de France est tout à fait possible. L’adoptant doit pouvoir également se rendre dans la famille d’accueil pour rencontrer l’animal. Vacciné : OUI + rage et passeport Pour l’adopter, merci de compléter ce formulaire : de faire compléter ce certificat par un vétérinaire ou une ASV et de nous le présenter après l’avoir signé : Finalement, ce chien ne vous correspond pas ou n’est plus disponible ?

About Scalp

What life with Scalp looks like

Scalp is a adult shih tzu dog waiting at Action 4 Pets 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 Scalp, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Scalp?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Action 4 Pets handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Scalp on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Scalp if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Action 4 Pets 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 Scalp 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 Scalp 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 Action 4 Pets early rather than rehoming privately; they know Scalp 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.
