Adopt FIFTY VAA

Male · Adult · 5 years

Fifty arrived with us after being found wandering by the pound. He is a young, very cute pup but who is struggling a lot in the shelter context... The handsome fellow is having trouble regaining weight. Fifty can live in a house or an apartment. We still don't know his compatibility with other animals, and a test can be done at the shelter. For his well-being, please make sure to familiarize yourself with the calming signals and positive education.

Fifty est arrivé chez nous après avoir été trouvé errant par la fourrière. C’est un jeune loulou très mignon mais qui déprime beaucoup en contexte refuge… Le beau a du mal à reprendre du poids. Fifty pourra vivre en maison ou appartement. Nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les autres chiens, un test pourra être effectué au refuge. En revanche, il ne s'entend pas avec les chats. Pour son bien-être, merci de vous renseigner sur les signaux d’apaisement et l’éducation positive.

About FIFTY VAA

What life with FIFTY VAA looks like

FIFTY VAA is a adult dog waiting at SPA Vaux-le-Pénil in Vaux-le-Pénil.

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 FIFTY VAA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about FIFTY 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 FIFTY VAA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt FIFTY 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 FIFTY 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 FIFTY 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 FIFTY 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.
