How do I contact the shelter about Luna?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Loire Atlantique handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Luna if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Loire Atlantique 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 Luna 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 Luna 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 de Loire Atlantique early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luna 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.

Luna

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Luna American Staff, Female, born in May 2020 Category: Adopted DescriptionAdditional Information: She arrived at the shelter after being abandoned due to a change in her owner’s circumstances. Luna hasn’t really received any training—she lived in a small apartment with very few outings and wasn’t properly socialized to the outside world. She’s a very sensitive, delicate dog, yet at the same time highly nervous and impulsive. Affectionate and close to humans once she’s gained trust, but very discreet, reserved, and easily overwhelmed by external stimuli. She’ll need a reassuring, calm, and secure environment. Ideal adopters would be gentle, kind, and active individuals who can help her regain confidence and emotional stability. Luna is a classified dog, subject to local legislation. Additional Information: Gender: Female Origin: Recognized Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Born: May 2020 Date of Arrival at Shelter: April 2023 Identification: 250268501924555 Living Conditions: House with garden required Energy Level: Gets along with cats: No Gets along with dogs: Does not get along with other dogs Children: No young children, yes teenagers Similar Products: Palma, Pogo, Miya

Luna n’a pas vraiment eu d’éducation, elle vivait dans un petit appartement avec très peu de sorties et n’a pas vraiment été socialisée au monde extérieur. C’est une chienne très sensible, très frêle mais à la fois, tout aussi nerveuse et impulsive. Affectueuse et proche de l’humain, une fois mise en confiance, mais très discrète, très effacée, soumise aux stimulus qui l’entoure. Elle aura besoin d’un cadre rassurant, calme et sécurisé. Des adoptants présents, doux, bienveillants et sportifs, qui sauront lui redonner confiance et une certaine stabilité émotionnelle. Luna est une chienne catégorisée, soumise à la législation.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

An 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.
