AVANA

Female · Senior · 12 years

AVANA was abandoned at the pound with her unfortunate companion. At 12 years old, it's high time for our sweet grandma to experience family life. She is an adorable and very affectionate dog who gets along well with children and other dogs. Despite her age, AVANA is still very lively and loves long walks on a leash where she can sniff for a long time. Due to her age, her vision and hearing are not as sharp, but her nose works very well to guide her wherever she wishes! AVANA is looking for a family in a home where she can finally enjoy happy days.

Avana a été abandonné à la fourrière avec sa copine d'infortune. A 12 ans il est grand temps pour notre douce mamie de connaitre la vie de famille. C'est une chienne adorable et très attachante qui s'entend avec les enfants et les chiens. Malgré son âge Avana est encore très dynamique et adore les balades en longe ou elle peut renifler longuement. Du à son âge, sa vue et son ouïe ne sont plus très affinées mais sa truffe marche très bien pour la guider la ou elle le souhaite ! Avana recherche un famille en maison ou elle pourra enfin couler des jours heureux.

About AVANA

What life with AVANA looks like

AVANA is a senior dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

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.

🇫🇷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 AVANA, answered.

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