Kirby

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Behind bars, KIRBY can be quite impressive with his intense gaze and barking. Yet, as soon as you take the time to meet him, you’ll discover a completely different dog. He’s an incredibly cuddly fellow, deeply attached to humans and always eager for attention. He’s attentive and loves interacting with people who take the time to get to know him. On walks, KIRBY doesn’t pull much on the leash. He may bark at certain other dogs when he’s on a leash, but this behavior remains entirely manageable. 🐱 His compatibility with cats is currently being evaluated. Kirby is a dog of extraordinary presence, with a beauty that leaves no one indifferent. But his greatest quality is undoubtedly one that isn’t immediately apparent: his immense need for affection. 💙 Don’t stop at first impressions. Make an appointment to come meet KIRBY—he just might surprise you…and melt your heart.

Derrière les barreaux, KIRBY peut impressionner avec son regard intense et ses aboiements. Pourtant, dès que l’on prend le temps de le rencontrer, on découvre un tout autre chien. C’est un loulou très câlin, proche de l’humain et toujours en demande d’attention. Il est à l’écoute et apprécie les échanges avec les personnes qui prennent le temps de le connaître. En promenade, KIRBY ne tire pas beaucoup en laisse. Il peut réagir en aboyant face à certains congénères lorsqu’il est en laisse, mais cela reste tout à fait gérable. 🐱 Son entente avec les chats est actuellement en cours d’évaluation. Kirby est un chien d’une prestance extraordinaire, doté d’une beauté qui ne laisse personne indifférent. Mais sa plus grande qualité est sans doute celle que l’on ne voit pas au premier regard : son immense besoin d’affection. 💙 Ne vous arrêtez pas à la première impression. Prenez rendez-vous pour venir rencontrer KIRBY, il pourrait bien vous surprendre… et faire fondre votre cœur.

About Kirby

What life with Kirby looks like

Kirby is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

A young 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kirby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kirby?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. S.P.A Vauclusienne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kirby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kirby if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — S.P.A Vauclusienne 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kirby 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 Kirby 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 S.P.A Vauclusienne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kirby 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.
