Urus

Male · Young · 3 years

Urus Type Dogue - Male - Born 01/09/2022 - Arrived 30/05/2026 - Provenance: Abandon - Lifestyle: Home or apartment - Child compatibility: No young children - Dog compatibility: Case by case - Cat compatibility: No Urus is not a stranger to us: he arrived at the shelter as a puppy, but unfortunately had to return a few years later. Today, he is waiting for a new family, this time for life. He is an affectionate and close-to-human dog, but also very powerful and sometimes a bit rough in his demonstrations of affection. For this reason, we will prioritize a home without young children. Cats are not possible to cohabitate with. Regarding other dogs, compatibility will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis during meetings. Urus is looking for responsible adopters who know or want to discover the needs of a Dogue type dog and are ready to offer him stability, framework and affection. Behind his impressive build lies an endearing companion who just wants to find a loving home where he can finally rest his paws.

About Urus

What life with Urus looks like

Urus is a young adult dog waiting at SPA Lorraine Amance in Amance.

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. SPA Lorraine Amance 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 Lorraine Amance 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 SPA Lorraine Amance 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.
