Mena

Female · Senior · 11 years

Mena is a little grandma who is still so lively and full of joy! She arrived from the pound, and we don't know her past. At the shelter, she is very sociable with humans. We don't know yet how she gets along with other dogs. But we would prefer a home without cats for her.

Mena est une petite mamie encore tellement vaillante et pleine de joie ! Arrivée de fourrière, nous ne connaissons pas son passé. Au refuge, elle se montre très sociable avec l'humain. Nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les autres chiens. Mais nous préfèrerons pour elle un foyer sans chats.

About Mena

What life with Mena looks like

Mena is a senior 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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mena, answered.

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