Stup

Australian Shepherd · Male · Adult · 4 years

Stup is a beautiful LOF Australian Shepherd nearly 5 years old. Stup arrived at the shelter after his owner left abroad. He lived permanently in the garden. Stup is a dynamic and very playful dog. However, he knows how to settle down for a cuddle moment, being very close to humans. Not having been socialized, he does not get along with his peers or cats. Stup will need a dynamic and patient family who will have to take up the basics of education with kindness and consistency with him.

Stup est un magnifique Berger Australien LOF de bientôt 5 ans Stup est arrivé au refuge suite au départ à l'étranger de son maître. Il vivait en permanence dans le jardin. Stup est un chien dynamique et très joueur. Il sait néanmoins se poser pour un moment de câlin, étant très proche de l'humain. N'ayant pas été sociabilisé, il ne s'entend pas avec ses congénères ni avec les chats. Stup aura besoin d'une famille dynamique et patiente qui devra reprendre avec lui les bases de l'éducation avec bienveillance et cohérence.

About Stup

What life with Stup looks like

Stup is a large adult australian shepherd dog waiting at Le refuge du Penthièvre et du Méné in France.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Stup, answered.

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