How do I contact the shelter about UKAWA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA 65 Tarbes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw UKAWA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt UKAWA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA 65 Tarbes 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 UKAWA 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 UKAWA 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 65 Tarbes early rather than rehoming privately; they know UKAWA 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.

Adopt UKAWA

Belgian Malinois · Female · Adult · 4 years

Arrival on December 27, 2025, the lovely UKAWA is up for adoption! She is at the our shelter after being abandoned; the illness of one of her previous owners was the cause. Affectionate, UKAWA is a very gentle dog who masters basic commands perfectly. UKAWA spent most of her time in the garden, so leash walking needs to be worked on (she can pull quite a bit, she’s lively) as well as getting along with other this breeds. In fact, she hasn’t been sufficiently socialized. Playful and quite dynamic, she can be abrupt, so we’ll avoid cohabitation with very young children. If her future family already has one or more other this breeds, a meeting will have to take place to evaluate the compatibility. Also, we’ll avoid cohabitation with our feline friends. UKAWA deserves to know happiness with a responsible and caring family. Don’t hesitate to come meet her, she’s been waiting for you!!

Arrivée le 27 Décembre 2025 La belle Ukawa est à l’adoption ! Elle se trouve au refuge suite à un abandon ; en cause la maladie de l’un de ses propriétaires.. Affectueuse, Ukawa est une très gentille chienne qui maîtrise parfaitement les ordres de base. Ukawa passait le plus clair de son temps dans le jardin donc la marche en laisse est à travailler (vive, elle peut tirer) ainsi que l’entente avec ses congénères. En effet, elle n’a pas été suffisament/correctement sociabilisée. Joueuse et assez dynamique, elle peut être brusque donc on évitera la cohabitation avec les très jeunes enfants. Si sa future famille possède déjà un ou plusieurs congénères, une rencontre devra donc avoir lieu afin d’évaluer les ententes. Aussi, nous éviterons la cohabitation avec nos amis félins. Ukawa mérite de connaître le bonheur auprès d’une famille responsable et bienveillante. N’hésitez pas à venir la rencontrer, elle n’attend que vous !!

About UKAWA

What life with UKAWA looks like

UKAWA is a medium-sized adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA 65 Tarbes in Tarbes.

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.
