Adopt Scott

Belgian Malinois · Male · Adult · 5 years

My name is Scott and I am the fastest to catch my ball! It's hard when there are several, so I catch them all. On walks, I am very curious, and I am on the lookout for anything that smells good! Of course, I am greedy, but when my auntie asks for a cuddle, I know how to stop everything and sit at her feet to enjoy it. Cats intrigue me, so I always try to chase them, but they are faster than me! You can be sure I will be your excellent guard, and with me you can sleep soundly.

Moi c’est Scott et je suis le plus rapide pour attraper ma balle ! Le choix est dur quand il y en a plusieurs, alors je les attrape toutes En promenade, je suis très curieux, et je suis ,à l’affût de tout ce qui sent bon! Bien évidemment, je suis gourmand, mais quand ma tatie me demande un câlin, je sais tout arrêter pour m’asseoir à ses pieds et profiter . Les chats m’intriguent alors j’essaye toujours de leur courir après, mais ils sont plus rapides que moi ! Tu peux être sûr que je serai ton excellent gardien, et avec moi tu pourras dormir sur tes deux oreilles.»

About Scott

What life with Scott looks like

Scott is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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 Scott, answered.

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