Adopt ULYSSA

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Young · 2 years

ULYSSA is a staffie who came from a pound. Her previous owners never came to retrieve her. Surprising given her charming personality! ULYSSA is calm, close to humans, in demand for cuddles, and playful. At first glance, she can be shy, but she turns out to be a joyful and lively dog. She loves playing with her other animals of the same species, running, and going wild. She has a basic understanding of training and knows house rules. She gets along with her other animals of the same species but not with cats. She can live in a house or an apartment with respectful children.

Ulyssa est une staffie qui vient de fourrière. Ses anciens propriétaires ne sont jamais venu la récupérer. Etonnant vu sa personnalité attachante ! Ulyssa est calme, proche de l'humain, en demande de câlins, et joueuse. D’un premier abord timide, elle se révèle ensuite être une chienne joyeuse et pleine de vie. Elle adore jouer avec ses congénères, courir et faire la folle. Elle a une base en éducation et connait les règles de propreté. Elle s'entend avec ses congénères mais pas avec les chats. Elle pourra vivre en maison ou en appartement, avec des enfants respectueux sans problème.

About ULYSSA

What life with ULYSSA looks like

ULYSSA is a young adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at SPA Mont-de-Marsan in De Marsan.

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 ULYSSA, answered.

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