DIEGO

Male · Senior · 9 years

DIEGO arrived at our shelter because his previous owner is facing health issues that prevent him from properly taking care of the little one. He is a charming dog accustomed to apartment living. He can live with other dogs as well as with children. His compatibility with cats is currently being tested. He will need constant company as he has never been left alone for several hours during the day.

FR·Show original

Diego est arrivé au refuge car son ancien propriétaire a des soucis de santé qui ne l'empêche de s'occuper correctement du loulou. C'est un chien adorable, habitué à la vie en appartement. Il pourra vivre avec d'autres chiens ainsi qu'avec des enfants. Ses ententes avec les chats sont en cours de test. Il aura besoin de présence car il n'a jamais été plusieurs heures seul au cours d'une journée.

About DIEGO

What life with DIEGO looks like

DIEGO is a senior dog waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

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 DIEGO, answered.

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