FINGERS VAA

Male · Adult · 7 years

Fingers is an endearing dog who hasn't had much luck in life. He has probably missed out on many things in the past, and as a result, food or his toys are precious to him. He tends to protect them very strongly. He needs time to gain trust in humans, but once he does, Fingers is a real clingy dog, affectionate and very cuddly. He knows how to be calm and attentive. He's a lively dog full of love to give. Fingers will need regular physical and mental exercise. Learning to be alone will be necessary because he doesn't handle the absence of his humans well. He is sociable with his own kind, but not at all with cats. He also can't live with young children. Fingers is looking for a calm, committed home that is willing to give him the time he needs to feel comfortable. He will need mandatory follow-up with a dog trainer.

FR·Show original

Fingers est un chien attachant, qui n'a pas eu de chance dans la vie. Il a sûrement manqué de nombreuses choses dans le passé, et de ce fait, la nourriture ou ses jouets lui sont précieux. Il a tendance à les protéger très fort. Il a besoin de temps pour prendre confiance en l'humain, mais une fois celle ci acquise, Fingers est un vrai pot de colle, affectueux et très câlin. Il sait se montrer calme et à l'écoute. C'est un loulou plein de vie et d'amour à donner. Fingers aura besoin de dépenses physiques et mentales régulières. Un apprentissage de la solitude sera nécessaire car il supporte mal l'absence de ses humains. Il est sociable avec ses congénères, mais pas du tout avec les chats. Il ne pourra pas non plus vivre avec des enfants en bas-âge. Fingers recherche un foyer calme, investi et prêt à lui laisser le temps dont il a besoin pour se sentir à l'aise. Il aura besoin d'un suivi obligatoire avec un éducateur canin.

About FINGERS VAA

What life with FINGERS VAA looks like

FINGERS VAA is a adult dog waiting at SPA Troyes in Troyes.

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 FINGERS VAA, answered.

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