BOOKY VAA

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Senior · 13 years

Booky arrived after being surrendered - he was adopted from this same shelter over 8 years ago and is now back. He's a sensitive, shy dog who doesn't know people well initially and needs calm, respectful, patient humans. Booky can show resource guarding behavior with his toys, bed, and food bowl. Young children should be avoided due to his fears. He has pituitary Cushing's disease requiring lifelong treatment and regular monitoring. He can live with dogs of similar size but doesn't get along with cats. For Booky's wellbeing, please research calming signals and positive training methods.

Booky est arrivé chez nous suite à un abandon… Il avait été adopté dans notre refuge il y a plus de 8 ans et le voilà de retour à la case départ. C’est un chien sensible, et timide quand il ne connaît pas bien, il aura besoin d'humain calme, respectueux et patient. Booky peut dans certains cas faire de la protection de ressource sur ses jouets, son panier et sa gamelle. Nous éviterons un placement avec de jeunes enfants étant donné ses craintes. Booky est atteint de la maladie de cushing hypophysaine, un traitement à vie et un contrôle régulier sera à prévoir. Booky pourra vivre avec un chien de son gabarit. Il ne s'entend pas avec les chats en revanche. Pour le bien-être de Booky, merci de vous renseigner sur les signaux d’apaisement et l’éducation bienveillante.

About BOOKY VAA

What life with BOOKY VAA looks like

BOOKY VAA is a small senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at SPA Vaux-le-Pénil in Vaux-le-Pénil.

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: Cushing's disease (pituitary) requiring lifelong treatment and regular veterinary monitoring. Resource guarding behavior with toys, bed, and food bowl.

🇫🇷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 BOOKY VAA, answered.

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