Adopt SORBU

Male · Adult · 7 years

I am SORBU. I have been to several shelters since my abandonment in Corsica, and it has been two years since I arrived here. I have a calm temperament, I observe a lot, but I come quite quickly to seek cuddles when given the chance to do so at my own pace. I don't pull on the leash, I love water, and I am a true soccer champion. I need a garden and a quiet environment: I bond strongly with my humans and may want to protect them. I prefer dogs, especially females, and I have never lived with children. For me, it will be a gentle, stable, and especially respectful family.

Je m'appelle Sorbu. J’ai connu plusieurs refuges depuis mon abandon en Corse, et cela fait deux ans que je suis ici. J’ai un tempérament calme, j’observe beaucoup, mais je viens assez vite chercher les câlins quand on me laisse faire à mon rythme. Je ne tire pas en laisse, j’adore l’eau, et je suis un vrai champion de foot. J’ai besoin d’un jardin et d’un environnement calme : je m’attache fort à mes humains et je peux vouloir les protéger. Je préfère les chiennes, pas les chats, et je n’ai jamais vécu avec des enfants. Pour moi, ce sera une famille douce, stable, et surtout respectueuse de mon espace.

About SORBU

What life with SORBU looks like

SORBU is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at SPA Aix-en-Provence in Aix.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs quiet environment, prefers female dogs, requires patient family that respects his space

🇫🇷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 SORBU, answered.

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