Edward

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Accueil Edward Mâle, né en janvier 2017 Catégorie : Adoptés DescriptionInformations complémentaires Edward porte un nom qui raconte son histoire : arrivé avec des brûlures sur tous les coussinets, il a été baptisé en référence à Edward aux mains d'argent. Ces blessures passées marquent encore son quotidien, et il appréhende énormément le contact physique pour le moment ; son corps garde la mémoire de ces traumatismes douloureux. Malgré cette grande réserve, Edward est un chat fondamentalement gentil. Il se montre très sociable avec ses congénères et s'avère très joueur avec les autres chats, ce qui est un moteur essentiel pour sa progression. C'est un chat complexe qui peut parfois avoir un petit caractère. Pour son équilibre, son placement devra impérativement se faire en duo, avec un autre chat du refuge ou un chat déjà présent dans sa future maison. Placement appartement de plus de 70m2 ou maison.

About Edward

What life with Edward looks like

Edward is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

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 Edward, answered.

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