Adopt Urkan

English Bulldog · Male

Type/Breed: French bulldog (non LOF) Chip number: 250269610895340 History: Abandoned after a spontaneous purchase. The owners do not have time to take care of him. Personality/Description: Urkan is a little crazy, playful and extremely sociable. On walks, he stops to say hello every time he meets someone. If he can get some scratches, that's happiness. He chases pigeons, but more for fun. He used to pull on the leash when he arrived, but the harness seems to have helped a bit. Surgery was performed for a prolapse of the nictitating gland. Adoption fee: 282 euros (membership included) Adoption outside of France is entirely possible. The adopter must also be able to visit the foster family to meet the animal. Vaccinated: YES + rabies and passport To adopt, please complete this form: have this certificate completed by a veterinarian or an ASV and present it to us after signing: Finally, this dog does not suit you or is no longer available?

S’il peut en plus recevoir des gratouilles, c’est le bonheur. Les pigeons, il court après. Mais plus par jeu. Il tirait en laisse à son arrivée mais le harnais semble l’avoir canalisé un peu. Une chirurgie a été effectuée pour le prolapsus de la glande nictitante. Frais d’adoption : 282 euros (adhésion comprise) L’adoption hors de France est tout à fait possible. L’adoptant doit pouvoir également se rendre dans la famille d’accueil pour rencontrer l’animal.

Nous en avons d’autres par ici

About Urkan

What life with Urkan looks like

Urkan is a adult english bulldog dog waiting at Action 4 Pets in France.

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 Urkan, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Urkan?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Action 4 Pets handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Urkan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Urkan if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Action 4 Pets 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 Urkan 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 Urkan 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 Action 4 Pets early rather than rehoming privately; they know Urkan 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.
