Alaska

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Alaska is looking for her forever family. Alaska just arrived at our shelter after an investigation for abuse. At just over a year old, this pretty little girl now only wants one thing: to finally discover the love and security of a real home. Still a bit reserved at the moment, Alaska will need time to regain her trust in humans. With calm, patience and a lot of gentleness, she will be able to gradually open up and show all the wonderful dog she is. Once she feels confident, we are sure that Alaska will become a great family dog, close to her humans and happy to share their daily lives. She deserves to know the sweetness of a home, the little daily attentions and especially... to finally understand what it means to be loved. Alaska will need a caring family, ready to give her the time she needs to flourish, without ever rushing her.

Alaska cherche sa famille pour la vie Alaska vient d’arriver chez nous à la suite d’une enquête pour maltraitance. Âgée d’un peu plus d’un an, cette jolie pépette ne demande aujourd’hui qu’une chose : découvrir enfin l’amour et la sécurité d’un véritable foyer. Encore un peu réservée pour le moment, Alaska aura besoin de temps pour reprendre confiance en l’être humain. Avec du calme, de la patience et beaucoup de douceur, elle pourra progressivement s’ouvrir et montrer toute la merveilleuse chienne qu’elle est. Une fois en confiance, nous sommes certains qu’Alaska pourra devenir une super chienne de famille, proche de ses humains et heureuse de partager leur quotidien. Elle mérite de connaître la douceur d’un foyer, les petites attentions du quotidien et surtout… de comprendre enfin ce que signifie être aimée. Alaska aura besoin d’une famille bienveillante, prête à lui laisser le temps nécessaire pour s’épanouir, sans jamais la brusquer.

About Alaska

What life with Alaska looks like

Alaska is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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 Alaska, answered.

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