FLASH

Male · Adult · 5 years

Flash has not experienced the benefits of human contact. She doesn't know cuddles and the gentleness of a home. It will take her a lot of time to learn to trust. She will not be placed with young children. She gets along well with other cats.

FR·Show original

Flash nous arrive d'un autre refuge et espère trouver prochainement une nouvelle famille, lui qui attend depuis trop longtemps... Flash est un chien sensible qui ne se présente pas toujours bien derrière la grille de son box. Il aura besoin d'un peu de temps pour ouvrir son cœur (mais avec des friandises c'est tout de suite beaucoup plus rapide). Une fois en confiance, c'est un chien avenant, dynamique, joueur, très affectueux, intelligent et volontaire. Flash pourra vivre en maison ou en appartement mais dans un environnement calme. Il pourra vivre avec un autre chien bien dans ses pattes. Il semble avoir peur des chats mais à voir comment cela pourrait évoluer dans un quotidien. Il recherche des adoptants doux, très présent, patient et cohérent, prêts à l'aider à surmonter ses peurs. Il pourra éventuellement vivre avec de grands enfants. Flash est une tornade de bonne humeur.

About FLASH

What life with FLASH looks like

FLASH is a small adult dog waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires extensive socialization and patience due to lack of human contact

🇫🇷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 FLASH, answered.

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