Lira

Dachshund · Female · Young · 3 years

Despite my small size, I don't back down. I put my friends in their place when they get too rowdy. My timid side makes me uncomfortable in confined spaces... In those moments, I seek refuge with a human to reassure myself. Otherwise, I'm calm and playful!

Malgré ma petite taille, je ne me laisse pas faire. Je remets les copains à leur place quand ils sont trop dissipés. Mon côté craintif fait que je peux être mal à l’aise dans les espaces confinés… Dans ces moments-là, je trouve refuge auprès d’un humain pour me rassurer. Sinon, à part ça, je suis calme et rigolote !

About Lira

What life with Lira looks like

Lira is a small young adult dachshund dog waiting at Doggy Oasis International in France.

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 Lira, answered.

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