Adopt Speedy

Pointer · Male

After several weeks of wandering alone, I was finally caught and taken to the pound. I was very thin at that time. Today, I am regaining my strength, and I am showing to be very active and kind, which explains my name. A good fence will be necessary in order to adopt him. His adoption fee is 315€, which includes veterinary fees (microchipping, first vaccination, neutering, and deworming). The shelter is open every day from Monday to Sunday (except Tuesdays) from 2 PM to 5 PM.

Après plusieurs semaines de promenade en solitaire, j'ai finalement été attrapé et emmené en fourrière. J'étais très amaigri à ce moment-là. Aujourd'hui, je reprends du poil de la bête, et je me révèle être très actif et gentil, ce qui explique mon prénom. Une bonne clôture sera nécessaire afin de pouvoir l'adopter. Son adoption s'élève à 315€, cela comprend les frais vétérinaires (identification par puce électronique, la primo-vaccination, la castration, le déparasitage). Le refuge est ouvert tous les jours du lundi au dimanche (sauf les mardis) de 14H à 17H.

About Speedy

What life with Speedy looks like

Speedy is a adult pointer dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux 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 Speedy, answered.

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