STARK

Cane Corso · Male · Adult · 5 years

I was brought to the shelter following a domestic incident: a routine had been set up in which the family's child would give me a command and reward me with a slice of ham, but unfortunately one day things did not go as planned and there was a bite. Nobody understands what happened, since I had never shown any signs of aggression, and at the shelter I am cheerful and affectionate with everyone.

FR·Show original

J'ai été amené au refuge à la suite d'un accident domestique : un rituel avait été mis en place où l'enfant de la famille me donnait un ordre et me récompensait avec une tranche de jambon, malheureusement un jour tout ne s'est pas passé comme prévu et il y a eu une morsure. Personne ne comprend ce qui s'est passé car je n'avais jamais montré de signes d'agressivités et au refuge je me montre joyeux et affectueux avec tout le monde.

About STARK

What life with STARK looks like

STARK is a medium-sized adult cane corso dog waiting at SPA Montélimar 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting STARK, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about STARK?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Montélimar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw STARK on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt STARK if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Montélimar 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is STARK 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 STARK 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 Montélimar early rather than rehoming privately; they know STARK 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.
