Urus

Male · Young · 3 years

I arrived following a seizure. I may have already known a family, but we know little about my past. I know all the basic commands and I am very attentive. My wolf side makes me wary and fearful of anything unfamiliar. But I am also a dog who is very close to the people who look after me, and I need a lot of human presence. I would need space, both in the enclosed yard I would occupy (which must be well fenced) and on the walks that I need. Before giving in to my wolf-like appearance and considering my adoption, it is essential to find out about the needs of my breed and to be able to meet them.

Je suis arrivé à la suite d’une réquisition. J’aurais déjà connu une famille mais nous savons peu de choses sur mon passé.Je connais tous les ordres de bases et je suis très à l’écoute.Mon côté loup me rend méfiant et peureux envers tout ce qui est inconnu. Mais je suis aussi un chien très proche des personnes qui s’occupent de moi je demande beaucoup de présence humaine. J’aurais besoin d’espace que ce soit dans le terrain ( bien clôturé) que j’occuperais et les balades qui me sont nécessaires. Avant de succomber à mon physique de loup et de songer à mon adoption il est impératif de se renseigner sur les besoins de ma race et d’être en mesure d’y répondre.Image 5: urus est couche sur la droite de l'image

About Urus

What life with Urus looks like

Urus is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at SPA Montélimar in France.

A 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Urus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Urus?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Montélimar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Urus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Urus if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Montélimar 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Urus 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 Urus 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 Montélimar early rather than rehoming privately; they know Urus 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.
