Shrek

Mixed Breed · Unknown

We present to you this adorable and very touching dog that we have renamed Scherck. His date of birth is estimated at September 1st, 2017. Crossed Griffons, he and his girlfriend Fiona were found wandering, terrified and completely lost, clinging to each other, in a state of great fear. Everything suggests that they have lived confined, without human contact, discovering the outside world only now. They don't know the leash, the sounds of daily life nor the familiar gestures... but they show no aggression. Despite their fear, they let themselves be gently petted and timidly seek the comfort of a kind hand. Fiona, more reserved, often crouches on the floor when the stress is too much for her to become invisible. Shreck, a bit more confident, is slowly getting used to things and helps his companion to calm down. These two dogs need time, patience and a lot of tenderness to learn real life: walks, cuddles, games, the security of a loving home. They are progressing slowly, day by day, and show a beautiful ability to adapt once they feel safe. They rely on each other to overcome their fears and gradually learn to trust, but can be adopted separately. We are looking for gentle, calm and experienced adopters, ready to offer them stability, safety and tenderness. They will need a quiet and secure environment, patient and kind people, a fenced yard to allow them to flourish at their own pace, and above all, time, tenderness and stability to learn real life and the joys of a home. They finally deserve to discover trust, walks, games and cuddles. Offer Fiona and Shreck the life they have never had!

Nous vous présentons cet adorable et très touchant toutou que nous avons rebaptisé Scherck. Sa date de naissance a été estimée au 1er septembre 2017. Croisés Griffons, lui et sa copine Fiona ont été retrouvés errants, terrorisés et complètement perdus, collés l’un à l’autre, dans un état de grande peur. Tout laisse penser qu’ils ont vécu enfermés, sans contact humain, découvrant aujourd’hui seulement ce qu’est la vie dehors. Ils ne connaissent pas la laisse, les bruits du quotidien ni les gestes familiers… mais ils ne montrent aucune agressivité. Malgré leur peur, ils se laissent caresser avec douceur et cherchent timidement le réconfort d’une main bienveillante. Fiona, plus réservée, se tapit souvent au sol quand le stress est trop fort pour elle pour se rendre invisible. Shreck, un peu plus confiant, prend doucement ses marques et aide sa compagne à s’apaiser. Ces deux chiens ont besoin de temps, de patience et de beaucoup de tendresse pour apprendre la vraie vie : les promenades, les câlins, les jeux, la sécurité d’un foyer aimant. Ils progressent doucement, jour après jour, et montrent une belle capacité d’adaptation dès qu’ils se sentent en sécurité. Ils s’appuient l’un sur l’autre pour surmonter leurs craintes et apprendre peu à peu à faire confiance mais peuvent être adoptés séparément. Nous recherchons pour eux des adoptants doux, calmes et expérimentés, prêts à leur offrir stabilité, sécurité et tendresse. Ils auront besoin d’un environnement calme et sécurisé, de personnes patientes et bienveillantes, d’un jardin clos pour leur permettre de s’épanouir à leur rythme, et surtout, de temps, de douceur et de stabilité pour apprendre la vraie vie et les joies d’un foyer. Ils méritent enfin de découvrir la confiance, les promenades, les jeux et les câlins. Offrez à Fiona et Shreck la vie qu’ils n’ont jamais eue !

About Shrek

What life with Shrek looks like

Shrek is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Salon-de-Provence in Salon-de-Provence.

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 Shrek, answered.

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