Silver

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Silver, claws for protection, not for hurting Silver, was found wandering, with an abscess on its paw. Since then, it has gradually discovered the safety and calm of the our shelter, even though all of this remains quite impressive to it. When you approach, Silver observes a lot. It can accept your approach, but always with gentleness and patience. If it is afraid or does not feel secure, it may spit or want to defend itself: a protective reaction for a cat that probably had to fend for itself for a long time. Silver will need a calm person who respects its pace, capable of giving it the time to learn that it no longer needs to be afraid. Access to the outdoors will be important for its balance and well-being.

FR·Show original

Silver, des griffes pour se protéger, pas pour blesser Silver a été trouvé errant, avec un abcès à la patte. Depuis, il découvre peu à peu la sécurité et le calme du refuge, même si tout cela reste encore très impressionnant pour lui. Quand on arrive près de lui, Silver observe beaucoup. Il peut accepter qu’on s’approche, mais toujours avec douceur et patience. S’il a peur ou ne se sent pas en confiance, il peut cracher ou vouloir se défendre : une réaction de protection chez un chat qui a sans doute dû se débrouiller seul pendant longtemps. Silver aura besoin d’une personne calme, respectueuse de son rythme, capable de lui laisser le temps d’apprendre qu’il n’a plus besoin d’avoir peur. Un accès à l’extérieur sera important pour son équilibre et son bien-être.

About Silver

What life with Silver looks like

Silver is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Noé Brest 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 Silver, answered.

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