Scott

Belgian Malinois · Male · Adult · 7 years

Scott nous arrive de fourrière, c'est un adorable loulou mais avec un sacré caractère. Monsieur n'aime pas que l'on n'aille pas dans son sens dans plein de situation. Scott a beaucoup de mal avec le contact/ la manipulation. Il lui faut un peu de temps avant de faire confiance et accepté la présence d'un humain. Pour l'instant Scott n'accepte pas que l'on lui mette un collier et encore moins un harnais, il peut accepter certain contact physique mais très bref et que quand c'est lui qui demande. Scott frustre très vite et fait de la protection de ressources, c'est pourquoi, il recherche des adoptants connaisseur du langage canins, et qui seront prêt a se faire aider par un éducateur pour le faire évoluer en positif et reprendre confiance en l'humain. Actuellement en travail avec l'éducatrice du refuge, nous obtenons déjà de très beau résultat en peu de temps, il aime et a envie d'apprendre.

About Scott

What life with Scott looks like

Scott is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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. SPA Rennes 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 — SPA Rennes 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 SPA Rennes 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.
