ULTRA

Alaskan Malamute · Male · Young · 3 years

Ultra has just arrived at the shelter after being abandoned. His previous family could no longer manage him, so we took him in. We are currently in the observation phase and getting to know him. According to the information we have, he may not get along with his peers, but this remains to be evaluated and confirmed on our side. An adopter already familiar with the breed would be a real asset. The Alaskan Malamute is a powerful, intelligent, and independent dog that requires consistent, respectful, and caring education. He enjoys the presence of his humans while maintaining a strong and independent character. His future home will need to be able to meet his exercise needs, provide a suitable living environment, and understand the specifics of this Nordic breed.

Ultra vient tout juste d’arriver au refuge suite à un abandon. Sa précédente famille ne parvenait plus à le gérer et nous l’avons donc pris en charge. Actuellement, nous sommes encore en phase d’observation et apprenons à le connaître. D’après les informations dont nous disposons, il ne s’entendrait pas avec ses congénères, mais cela reste à évaluer et à confirmer de notre côté. Un adoptant connaissant déjà la race serait un véritable atout. En effet, le Malamute d’Alaska est un chien puissant, intelligent et indépendant, qui nécessite une éducation cohérente, respectueuse et bienveillante. Il apprécie la présence de ses humains tout en conservant un caractère affirmé et indépendant. Son futur foyer devra être en mesure de répondre à ses besoins d’exercice, de lui offrir un cadre de vie adapté et de bien comprendre les particularités de cette race nordique.

About ULTRA

What life with ULTRA looks like

ULTRA is a young adult alaskan malamute dog waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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 ULTRA, answered.

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