KHAYA

Dachshund · Female · Senior · 9 years

Khaya is a gentle and affectionate dog who enjoys human company. She may need a little time to adjust to fully open up. She will need a patient and caring family who will give her time to settle in and build a trusting relationship. Some work remains to be done around her coping with solitude. She will need to be gradually helped in learning to cope with absences, with kindness and patience.

FR·Show original

Khaya est une chienne douce et affectueuse qui apprécie beaucoup la présence de l’humain. Elle peut avoir besoin d’un petit temps d’adaptation pour se dévoiler pleinement. Elle aura besoin d’une famille patiente et bienveillante, qui lui laissera le temps de prendre ses repères et de créer une relation de confiance. Un travail reste à faire autour de la solitude. Il faudra donc l’accompagner progressivement dans l’apprentissage des absences, avec douceur et patience.

About KHAYA

What life with KHAYA looks like

KHAYA is a senior dachshund dog waiting at Jean Leriche) in Moree.

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 KHAYA, answered.

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