Vagabond

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Having recently arrived at the shelter straight from Martinique, we’re starting to get to know Vagabond. He’s proving to be very people-oriented, has begun going for walks, and seems to really enjoy them! We don’t yet know how he gets along with other dogs or with cats. At first glance, we think Vagabond could live with children, but that will need to be confirmed on a case-by-case basis :)

FR·Show original

Arrivé depuis peu au refuge tout droit de Martinique, nous apprenons à découvrir Vagabond. Il se montre très proche de l’humain, commence à sortir en balade et semble apprécier ça ! Vagabond ne s'entend pas avec les chiens mâles. Ses ententes avec les femelles et avec les chats restent à tester. Un peu anxieux et pas forcément à l'aise avec les manipulations, nous éviterons la présence de trop jeunes enfants;

About Vagabond

What life with Vagabond looks like

Vagabond is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Plouhinec in Plouhinec.

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 Vagabond, answered.

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