SLOW

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 5 years

SLOW est un magnifique Berger Allemand de 5 ans, arrivé au refuge suite aux problèmes de santé de son propriétaire, qui n'était malheureusement plus en mesure de s'occuper de lui. Habitué à vivre auprès d'une personne seule dans une maison, Slow découvre aujourd'hui la vie en refuge en attendant de retrouver une famille. C'est un chien plein de vie, dynamique et toujours partant pour une activité. Comme beaucoup de Bergers Allemands, il est intelligent, volontaire et a besoin d'être stimulé aussi bien physiquement que mentalement pour être pleinement épanoui. Les promenades quotidiennes, les jeux et les activités de réflexion feront partie intégrante de son équilibre. Slow adore courir, jouer et partager des moments avec les personnes qui s'occupent de lui. C'est un compagnon agréable, proche de l'humain et toujours heureux de profiter d'un moment d'interaction. Habitué à vivre dans une maison avec un jardin, il sera placé uniquement dans un foyer disposant d'un extérieur parfaitement clôturé. C'est également un bon gardien, qui veille naturellement sur son territoire tout en restant proche de sa famille. Les ententes seront à étudier au cas par cas. Slow pourrait vivre avec une femelle calme, mais il ne s'entend pas avec les chats. Il n'a jamais vécu avec des enfants. Cependant, au vu de son tempérament sociable et de son comportement agréable, nous pensons qu'il pourrait rejoindre une famille avec des enfants de plus de 8 ans, à condition que ceux-ci soient respectueux des chiens. Nous recherchons pour Slow une famille active, prête à lui offrir le temps, l'attention et les dépenses dont il a besoin. En retour, il sera un compagnon fidèle, intelligent et profondément attaché à ceux qui lui ouvriront leur cœur.

About SLOW

What life with SLOW looks like

SLOW is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at SPA Colmar 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 SLOW, answered.

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