Dan

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 13 years

Dan, mixed breed Labrador, 13 years old. Dan has settled in and seems to be getting used to his new life with the shelter team, he is more at ease. He is a calm and very hungry dog! He must be the only animal in the family. We hope that he will end his life in a kind family that will accompany him until the end. He is an elderly dog with arthritis that needs to be relieved. Getting along with other animals of the same species is difficult and cats should be avoided.

Dan, croisé Labrador de 13ans. Dan a pris ses repères et a l’air de se faire à sa nouvelle vie entouré de l’équipe du refuge, il est plus serein. C’est un chien calme et très gourmand !

C’est un chien âgé avec de l’arthrose qu’il faudra soulager. L’entente avec ses congénères est difficile et il faudra éviter les chats. Partager cet article Partager sur Facebook Partager par Mail

About Dan

What life with Dan looks like

Dan is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at S.P.A.C.A Rescue Animals Protection Riviera in Vence.

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 Dan, answered.

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