YURI

Male · Senior · 9 years

Abandoned for financial reasons, YURI has lost none of its sweetness. Behind its imposing size lies a true teddy bear, deeply attached to humans and seeking companionship and affection. It is a calm dog, pleasant on walks, who enjoys both quiet moments and shared time. In the past, it lived with children, making it potentially well-suited to family life. We do not yet know how it gets along with other animals of the same species, and it will not be able to live with cats.

FR·Show original

Abandonné pour des raisons financières, Yuri n’a pourtant rien perdu de sa douceur. Derrière son gabarit imposant se cache un véritable nounours, profondément attaché à l’humain et en quête de présence et d’affection. C’est un chien posé, agréable en balade, qui apprécie les moments calmes autant que les instants partagés. Il a vécu avec des enfants par le passé, ce qui en fait un compagnon potentiellement adapté à une vie de famille. Il ne pourra pas vivre avec des chats et des chiens.

About YURI

What life with YURI looks like

YURI is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at SPA Chilleurs-aux-Bois in Chilleurs.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Requires extensive socialization and patience due to lack of human contact

🇫🇷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 YURI, answered.

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