Adopt Ullysse

Poodle · Male · Young · 3 years

Back from adoption because he needs a securely fenced yard to prevent escape attempts. At only 3 years old, Ulysse, a magnificent goldendoodle, had his life turned upside down overnight. After the sudden loss of his owner, with whom he lived alone, he now finds himself behind the bars of the shelter, completely lost and upset. Ulysse doesn't understand why he's here. He who knew the tranquility of a home and the reassuring presence of his master must now face the noise, new places, and the commotion of the shelter. This situation makes him sad and deeply disoriented. He is a calm, very clean, and quiet dog, who will need time, patience, and gentleness to learn to trust humans again and regain his bearings. - Can live in a house or apartment? - Calm and clean dog? - Not yet tested with other animals?

About Ullysse

What life with Ullysse looks like

Ullysse is a young adult poodle dog waiting at SPA Étalondes in Etalondes.

An young 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 Ullysse, answered.

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