Lima

Female · Senior · 10 years

Il y a 5ans, cette douce chienne avait déjà connu l'abandon. Retrouvée errante, elle avait heureusement trouvé une famille qui semblait lui promettre une vie meilleure. Nous pensions son histoire enfin apaisée. Mais il y a quelques jours, le destin s'est montré cruel une nouvelle fois. Lima a été retrouvée errante pour la seconde fois, prise en charge par la fourrière dans un état qui serre le cœur : très maigre, fatiguée par la vie et les épreuves. Contactée, son ancienne adoptante a fait le choix de ne pas venir la récupérer. Alors Lima est revenue au refuge. Malgré tout ce qu'elle a traversé, elle garde une incroyable douceur. Elle nous accueille avec gentillesse. Lima s'entend bien avec les autres chiens.Madame sait grimper aux grillages. Il faudra donc être vigilant. À 10 ans, Lima ne devrait plus connaître l'abandon, la faim ou la solitude. Elle devrait pouvoir poser ses valises définitivement auprès d'une famille aimante.

About Lima

What life with Lima looks like

Lima is a senior dog waiting at SPA Vannes in Vannes.

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 Lima, answered.

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