Van Gogh

Doberman · Male · Puppy · 3 months

Van Gogh is a small puppy who was part of a litter intended for sale. One of his ears was cut, but not the other... That's how he joined our association and became our little Van Gogh 🎨 🧠. Character: Van Gogh is an exceptional little puppy. Intelligent, very greedy, affectionate and close to humans, he learns very quickly and loves to please. In just one week, he has already started natural walking, "down" and "up" exercises on the puppy agility course. 🥰 He is also already a very good guard and remains a curious little dog who loves to learn. His needs: Van Gogh is still a baby and everything is still to be learned. The main work to be continued will be the learning of solitude, which he still finds difficult. He will also need chewing to meet his puppy needs and continue his training in cleanliness, even if he has already made very good progress since his arrival. He has not had any accidents in the house since his arrival. Van Gogh will need a present, patient and invested family, ready to continue his education and allow him to grow serenely. ❤️ Compatibility: 🐶 Dogs: OK 😺 Cats: To be tested 🧒🏻 Children: To be tested Do you already want to make an adoption request for him? 👉 Please fill out our form: here

📖 Histoire : Van Gogh faisait partie d'une portée destinée à la vente. Une de ses oreilles a été coupée, mais pas l'autre… C'est ainsi qu'il a rejoint notre association et qu'il est devenu notre petit Van Gogh 🎨 🧠 Caractère : Van Gogh est un petit chiot exceptionnel. Intelligent, très gourmand, câlin et proche de l'humain, il apprend très vite et adore faire plaisir. En seulement une semaine, il a déjà commencé le suivi naturel en balade, le « couché » ainsi que les exercices « monte » et « descend » sur le parcours d'agility chiot. 🥰 Il est également déjà très bon gardien et reste un petit chien curieux qui adore apprendre. 💕 Ses besoins : Van Gogh est encore un bébé et tout reste à apprendre. Le principal travail à poursuivre sera l'apprentissage de la solitude, qu'il vit encore difficilement. Il aura également besoin de mastication pour répondre à ses besoins de petit chiot et continuer son apprentissage de la propreté, même s'il a déjà fait de très beaux progrès puisqu'il n'a eu aucun accident dans la maison depuis son arrivée. 👏 Van Gogh aura besoin d'une famille présente, patiente et investie, prête à poursuivre son éducation et à lui permettre de grandir sereinement. ❤️ 🐾 Ententes : 🐶 Chiens : OK 😺 Chats : À tester 🧒🏻 Enfants : À tester Vous souhaitez déja faire une demande d'adoption pour lui ? 👉 Merci de remplir notre formulaire : ici

About Van Gogh

What life with Van Gogh looks like

Van Gogh is a small puppy doberman dog waiting at Association Thalya Protection in France.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract, and shelters often cover sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and a passport. Confirm with the shelter what is included. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Van Gogh, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Van Gogh?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Association Thalya Protection handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Van Gogh on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Van Gogh if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Association Thalya Protection whether they will for Van Gogh, what they require (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 Van Gogh already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Van Gogh. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Association Thalya Protection, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Van Gogh isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Association Thalya Protection about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Van Gogh 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.
