Adopt KIKI SAM

Rottweiler · Male · Adult · 4 years

KIKI SAM is a handsome Rottweiler with a sensitive heart. At first glance, he can be wary and will need time and patience to learn to trust. But once reassured, he is loyal and very attached to his human. He seeks a calm home, ideally in the countryside, where he can evolve peacefully. KIKI SAM must be the only animal in the household to live in a stable environment. KIKI SAM is affected by Crohn's disease and Cushing's syndrome, so veterinary follow-up and costs will need to be considered. Classified as a dog, his behavioral assessment is 2/4. He will need responsible adopters willing to offer him a reassuring environment. KIKI SAM simply awaits someone ready to give him a chance and a life full of love.

About KIKI SAM

What life with KIKI SAM looks like

KIKI SAM is a large adult rottweiler dog waiting at SPA Vitré in Vitre.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Crohn's disease and Cushing's syndrome - requires ongoing veterinary care and associated costs

🇫🇷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 KIKI SAM, answered.

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