DORA

Mixed Breed · Female

DORA, at the shelter for 13 days I'm DORA, a sweet little dog who arrived at the shelter with my companion Dory, found wandering together, so we don't know our past. I'm gentle, very affectionate, always in need of human contact. Young and full of energy, I'll need some education. I love going for walks and playing in the park with my human friends. It seems I get along with other animals of the same species, but we're not sure if I know cats, a test is possible at the shelter. I'm waiting for my forever family, a family that's present, dynamic, and ready to meet my daily needs for outings, play, and cuddles. While Dory is getting ready to be adopted by a volunteer, I hope to find my family soon so I don't have to stay alone for too long! See you soon for a visit.

Dora, au refuge depuis 13 jours Je m’appelle Dora, gentille petite chienne arrivée au refuge avec son acolyte Dory, trouvées érrantes toutes les deux, on ne connait donc pas notre passé. Je suis gentille, très affectueuse, toujours en demande de contact humain. Jeune et dynamique, il faudra faire mon éducation. J’adore partir en balade et aller jouer dans le parc avec mes copains humains. Je semble m’entendre avec congénères, on ne sait pas si je connais les chats mais un test est possible au refuge. J’attends désormais ma famille pour la vie, une famille assez présente, dynamique et prête à répondre à mes besoins de sorties quotidiennes, de jeux, de câlins. Pendant que Dory s’apprête à être adoptée par une bénévole, j’espère trouver vite ma famille pour ne pas rester seule trop longtemps ! A bientôt pour une visite.

About DORA

What life with DORA looks like

DORA is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Lagord / La Rochelle in Lagord.

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 DORA, answered.

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