LYRA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Lyra a vécu un véritable enfer avant d’arriver chez nous. Elle est issue d’un sauvetage au cours duquel nous sommes intervenus pour récupérer une centaine de chiens vivant dans des conditions particulièrement difficiles : insalubrité, manque de nourriture, absence de soins et conditions de vie déplorables. Lyra a désormais tout à découvrir et à apprendre de la vie en famille. Elle ne connaît pas encore les petits bonheurs du quotidien, la sécurité d’un foyer, la douceur des caresses ou simplement la tranquillité d’une vie auprès de ses humains. Pour elle, nous rechercherons un foyer calme, patient et bienveillant, prêt à lui laisser le temps de prendre confiance et de progresser à son rythme. La présence d’un autre chien équilibré serait vivement souhaitée, afin qu’elle puisse s’appuyer sur lui et apprendre à travers lui. Nous éviterons également les familles avec de jeunes enfants, car Lyra a besoin de calme et de sérénité pour pouvoir évoluer en toute confiance.

About LYRA

What life with LYRA looks like

LYRA is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting LYRA, answered.

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