How do I contact the shelter about Tom?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche de Phoenix handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tom on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tom if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arche de Phoenix 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 Tom 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 Tom 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 Arche de Phoenix early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tom 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.

Tom

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Here is Tom, a magnificent French braque breed dog, found in an hotel school. Tom was abandoned to his sad fate, having to scavenge through garbage to survive. One of the chefs contacted the volunteers at our shelter so they could take charge of Tom and save him from the pound. Tom was examined by our veterinarian for a full check-up, and all blood tests came back negative. Tom is a very gentle dog, social with his other animal species, affectionate, gentle, calm, playful, and well-mannered. We are searching for a kind family who will take good care of Tom and give him beautiful walks, cuddles, playtime, and entertainment, and Tom would be the happiest dog. Tom can live in an apartment or a house with a garden. Name: Tom. Breed: French braque. Gender: male. Age: 02/2021Height: 56cmWeight:

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Arche de Phoenix in arche de phoenix.

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.
