Adopt SOCRATE

Beagle · Male · Adult · 4 years

SOCRATE is a clean, playful, dynamic, and sociable dog with other dogs. He is not escape-prone and shows obedience. He can be petted and enjoys physical contact. He still doesn't know how to be alone and this will need to be worked on. An educator's support will be essential because he has already bitten twice. He will need to evolve in a calm environment, without children, with experienced adopters who can offer him stability and consistency and have a lot of patience. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Read original (fr)

Socrate est un chien propre, joueur, dynamique et sociable avec les autres chiens. Il n’est pas fugueur et se montre obéissant. Il peut être caressé et apprécie le contact. Il ne sait pas encore rester seul et cet apprentissage sera à travailler. Un accompagnement par un éducateur sera indispensable car il a déjà mordu 2 fois. Il devra évoluer dans un environnement calme, sans enfants, avec des adoptants expérimentés capables de lui offrir stabilité et cohérence et avoir beaucoup de patience.

About SOCRATE

What life with SOCRATE looks like

SOCRATE is a adult beagle dog waiting at SPA Arras (Tilloy) in Arras.

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 SOCRATE, answered.

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