Adopt Shiro

Male · Adult · 4 years

Shiro arrived with us after being abandoned. He is a gentle and affectionate dog with humans. He is very greedy and energetic. He loves long walks and play sessions. Being eager to please, he appreciates being taught new things and having his curiosity stimulated (he gets bored quickly). He will get along with some larger dogs (to be tested on a case-by-case basis) but not with smaller dogs or cats (heavy predation). His education needs to continue, particularly with respect to walking on a leash (he pulls) and escape attempts. Within the shelter, he has been out with our youth club (children aged 11 to 17). He can live in an apartment but some training will be necessary. Some mischievous behavior can be expected.

Shiro est arrivé chez nous suite à son abandon. C'est un chien gentil et affectueux avec l'humain. Il est très gourmand et dynamique. Il adore les longues balades et séances de jeux. Soucieux de bien faire, il apprécie qu'on lui enseigne de nouvelles choses et qu'on stimule sa curiosité (Il s'ennui vite). Il s'entendra avec certains grands chiens (à tester au cas par cas) mais pas avec les chiens plus petits que lui ni les chats (grosse prédation). Son éducation est à poursuivre notamment au niveau de la marche en laisse (il tire) et des fugues. Au sein du refuge il est sorti par notre club jeunes (enfants de 11 à 17 ans). Il pourra vivre en appartement mais un travail d'éducation est à faire. Quelques bêtises sont à prévoir.

About Shiro

What life with Shiro looks like

Shiro is a adult dog waiting at SPA Draguignan (Flayosc) in Draguignan.

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 Shiro, answered.

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