Lyon

Male · Senior · 10 years

First thing to know about me is that my name is pronounced in English: Liaone. Second thing, I am "only" 8 years old but my gray muzzle might make you think I'm a grandpa... Third thing: I am in shape, a real tractor on a walk. I will need to exercise and company, I tend to chew on things if I'm alone... Lyon is very friendly and kind with children and knows other animals (cats and dogs). He is really adorable and used to live in a house. His adoption fee is 315€, which includes veterinary fees (microchip identification, first vaccination, neutering, and deworming). The shelter is open every day from Monday to Sunday (except Tuesdays) from 2 pm to 5 pm.

About Lyon

What life with Lyon looks like

Lyon is a senior dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

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, and shelters often cover sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and a passport. Confirm with the shelter what is included. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lyon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lyon?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SPA de Périgueux handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lyon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lyon if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SPA de Périgueux whether they will for Lyon, what they require (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 Lyon already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: SPA de Périgueux lists Lyon as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SPA de Périgueux, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lyon isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SPA de Périgueux about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lyon 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.
