mickey

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Adult · 4 years

Mickey was abandoned at the shelter when his previous owner moved to a care facility. He shows fear at first contact but is adorable once he gains trust. He needs a gentle, patient family who will give him time to adjust to his new home. Having been neglected and rarely walked, though he had free garden access, he will enjoy beautiful walks with his new adopters. He can live in an apartment or house in semi-urban areas. Placement with children is possible, provided he has necessary space for tranquility. His compatibility with other dogs is unknown but can be tested at the shelter. He is sociable with cats.

FR·Show original

Tel un joli domino tout de noir et de blanc vêtu, Mickey est un robuste chat gourmand et sociable qui illumine le carré des chats de ses miaulements mélodieux. Toujours prêt à recevoir son lot de caresses, il se frotte gentiment à toutes les mains qui se tendent vers lui. Devant tant de douceur et de gentillesse, on ne peut que souhaiter pour lui une famille tendre et aimante, qui saura apprécier tout le potentiel affectif de notre joli Mickey.

About mickey

What life with mickey looks like

mickey is a small adult jack russell terrier cat waiting at Vallerargues) in Ales.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

Note from the shelter: Needs patient family due to fearful nature from abandonment

🇫🇷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 mickey, answered.

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