Urus

German Shepherd · Male · Young · 3 years

Urus - Looking for a human with sports option included! Urus is a big, gentle dog that is close to humans. ❤️ But there's a small detail to know... 🏋️ Urus is VERY physical! For his future owner, a gym membership is not mandatory... Urus takes care of the sports program. 😂 Dynamic walks, activities, expenses, adventures: he will need a human as athletic as him, able to follow the animal without asking for a refuel stop every 500 meters! 🏃💨 🐶 Dog compatibility: very promising - the first signals are encouraging. 🐱 Cats: NO. Even with negotiation, mediation and treats on the table... it's NO. 😅 Urus is looking for his sports partner... but especially his human for life. 🥰🐾

Pour son futur maître, l’abonnement à la salle n’est pas obligatoire…Urus s’occupe du programme sportif. 😂 Balades dynamiques, activités, dépenses, aventures : il lui faudra un humain aussi sportif que lui, capable de suivre la bête sans demander un arrêt ravitaillement tous les 500 mètres ! 🏃💨 🐶 Ententes chiens : très prometteuses — les premiers signaux sont encourageants. 🐱 Chats : NON. Même avec négociation, médiation et friandises sur la table… c’est NON. 😅 Urus cherche donc son partenaire de sport… mais surtout son humain pour la vie. 🥰🐾

About Urus

What life with Urus looks like

Urus is a young adult german shepherd dog waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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 Urus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Urus?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. S.P.A Vauclusienne 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 — S.P.A Vauclusienne 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 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 S.P.A Vauclusienne 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
