How do I contact the shelter about SKAR?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Hermeray handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw SKAR on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt SKAR if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Hermeray 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 SKAR 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 SKAR 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 Hermeray early rather than rehoming privately; they know SKAR 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.

Adopt SKAR

Belgian Malinois · Male · Young · 3 years

SKAR arrived following a transfer from another shelter. We don't know his past. All we know is that he spent several months wandering as a stray before the pound picked him up. He actually arrived at the shelter with a significant thigh injury that is now fully healed. Over nearly a year, he has made great progress thanks to the work of the staff and volunteers! He initially behaved like a wolf, constantly avoiding us. Today, he is very happy to see his caregivers, enjoys his walks more and more, and walks well on a leash! His greatest quality is his sociability with other dogs; he even helps us socialize our other residents! He is very playful with the other dogs, and we are looking for a family who already has a similarly energetic dog. SKAR will need some time to trust you, but once that trust is earned, it's all happiness!

Skar est arrivé suite à un transfert depuis un autre refuge. Nous ne connaissons pas son passé. Tout ce que nous savons c'est qu'il a fait plusieurs mois d'errance, livré à lui même avant que la fourrière ne l'attrape. Il est d'ailleurs arrivé au refuge avec une grosse blessure au niveau de la cuisse qui est aujourd'hui entièrement soigné. Depuis bientôt 1 an, il a fait des gros progrès grâce au travail des agents et bénévoles ! Il est arrivé avec un comportement semblable a celui d'un loup, il nous fuyait constamment. Aujourd'hui, il est très heureux de voir ses soigneurs, apprécie de plus en plus ses balades et marche bien en laisse ! Sa plus grande qualité est sa sociabilité avec les autres chiens, il nous aide même beaucoup à socialiser nos autres pensionnaires ! Très joueur avec les chiens, nous lui cherchons une famille en possédant déjà un de même énergie. Skar aura besoin d'un peu de temps pour vous faire confiance, mais une fois celle ci acquise, ce n'est que du bonheur !

About SKAR

What life with SKAR looks like

SKAR is a young adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Hermeray in Hermeray.

An young 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.
