Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Laya - CC194 Female German Shepherd mix, 12 years old. Laya is an incredibly gentle, loving and very human-oriented dog. Unfortunately, she has experienced neglect before coming to us. Don't be fooled by her age! Laya is in great shape, full of life and very playful. 🥰 She loves cuddles, enjoys sharing good times with humans and gets along with her fellow dogs. We dream of a family for her who will take care of her, spoil her and finally offer her the sweet and affectionate life she deserves. Come meet her, Laya still has so much love and beautiful years to share. ❤️🐾 ❤️ Good news: thanks to our partnership with the 30 Million Friends Foundation, Laya benefits from the Seniors Operation: • Comprehensive veterinary check-up before adoption (blood test, urine analysis, dental cleaning if necessary) • Up to €1,000 in veterinary costs covered after adoption, if needed. 🙏 A huge thank you to the 30 Million Friends Foundation for this program that helps our dogs and cats over 10 years old find a family.

About Laya

What life with Laya looks like

Laya is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at SCPA Carcassonne in Carcassonne.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Laya, answered.

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