Yorkshire Terrier · Female · Senior · 10 years

This 10-year-old adorable loulou is bravely fighting against severe leishmaniasis, which unfortunately has left its mark on her small body. Today, under treatment, our little Méli is doing well and enjoying every moment. She is a very affectionate dog who gets along with small dogs. Her compatibility with cats is still unknown. After everything she has been through, we would like to offer her a sweet retirement, surrounded by love and tenderness. She truly deserves to know the happiness of a home! For our little grandmother, we would like a calm home; this little loulou deserves all the love in the world.

About meli

What life with meli looks like

meli is a senior yorkshire terrier dog waiting at SPA Perpignan in Perpignan.

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 meli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about meli?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SPA Perpignan handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw meli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt meli 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 Perpignan whether they will for meli, 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 meli already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for meli. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SPA Perpignan, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if meli isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SPA Perpignan about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know meli 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.
