Ulhan

Male

Ulhan was rescued from an illegal breeding operation. There were over 30 starving dogs crammed into dilapidated, muddy pens. He had never experienced socialization and knew nothing of life in a home. He was in poor health and severely malnourished when rescued, with many untreated wounds. He has since regained his strength and is looking for a family for life! He will need very gentle and patient people who will help him discover dog life at his own pace. He is fearful and will need time to build trust, but once comfortable, he is a real bundle of love. He enjoys walks and leash walking goes well. No pulling on the leash. He gets along with other dogs and a canine companion at home might even help him relax. We do not know his compatibility with cats. He will be placed in the countryside as the city would terrify him. We will avoid placing him with young children who might frighten him. Interested? Complete the adopter application form downloadable directly below. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Ulhan a été récupéré dans un élevage illégal. Ils étaient plus de 30 chiens a vivres entassés dans des parcs délabrés et boueux. Il n’a jamais eu de sociabilisation et ne connait pas la vie dans un foyer. Il a été récupéré dans un mauvais état de santé et dans un état de maigreur avancé avec beaucoup de plaie non soignées. Il a maintenant repris du poil de la bête et cherche sa famille pour la vie ! Il aura besoin de personnes très douces et patientes qui lui feront découvrir la vie de chien a son rythme. Il est craintif, il lui faut du temps pour faire confiance mais une fois a l’aise c’est une vraie boule d’amour. Il aime les balades et la marche en laisse se passe bien. Ne tire pas en laisse. Il s’entend avec les chiens et un copain à la maison pourrais même l’aider à se détendre. Il ne peut pas être placé avec un chat car il est beaucoup trop intéressé par eux et pourrait les chasser. Il sera placé a la campagne car la ville lui ferait beaucoup trop peur. Nous éviterons les enfants en bas âge qui pourraient lui faire peur. Intéressé ?

About Ulhan

What life with Ulhan looks like

Ulhan is a adult dog waiting at SPA du Dauphine in Grenoble.

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 Ulhan, answered.

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