LANA

Belgian Malinois · Female · 2 years

Hi, I'm Lana. I just arrived from a pound in another department. I'm a young female dog, pretty and medium-sized, but be warned: I'm not a toy. I'm a dog with an unknown but not glorious past. I will need calm, patience, and gentleness. I have fears and can react by nipping. I will need positive training and time.

FR·Show original

Lana est une adorable chatonne, tendre, un peu craintive quand elle ne connait pas et très mignonne. Curieuse et joueuse, elle aime aussi les câlins et la compagnie. Avec son caractère doux et attachant, elle saura apporter beaucoup de bonheur à sa future famille qui devra se montrer respectueuse.

About LANA

What life with LANA looks like

LANA is a medium-sized adult belgian malinois cat waiting at SPA Vitré in Vitre.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

Note from the shelter: Fear-based reactivity, may nip when scared, requires positive training and patience

🇫🇷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 LANA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LANA?
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 LANA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LANA 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 LANA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats 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 LANA 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 LANA 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.
