Aureka

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Aureka is a beautiful Dogue-type dog. Recently arrived from Martinique, this adorable female loves cuddles and spending time with humans. Her health check-up is still ongoing. The lovely one has stage 1 cancer, but it doesn't stop her from enjoying life, and we hope she finds a loving home soon to fully enjoy her new life.

Aureka est une magnifique louloute de type dogue. Arrivée il y a peu de Martinique, cette adorable chienne adore les calins et passé du temps avec l'humain. Elle est plus sur la réserve vis à vis des hommes, mais avec du temps elle pourra s'épanouir autant qu'avec des femmes. Son suivi sanitaire est encore en cours. La belle a un cancer de stade 1 cependant cela ne l'empêche pas de profiter de la vie et nous espérons pour elle, qu'elle trouve un foyer aimant rapidement pour profiter pleinement de sa nouvelle vie.

About Aureka

What life with Aureka looks like

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

An 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 Aureka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aureka?
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 Aureka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aureka 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 Aureka 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 Aureka 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 Aureka 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.
