Adopt MIKE

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Adult · 6 years

MIKE is a dog who has seen it all, been mistreated, neglected, and used. Despite his past, he is affectionate, full of life, and more than ready to find his life partner who will understand and love him. MIKE remains a broken dog who needs to rebuild trust in life; he now desires a responsible human who will accompany him as best they can. His excitement is high, and he cannot cohabit with children or cats. Our beautiful MIKE is categorized, so it will be necessary to take the appropriate steps at the town hall to be in compliance and will need to wear a muzzle, which he tolerates rather well. A little gem to discover.

Read original (fr)

Mike est un toutou qui a tout vécu, maltraité, délaissé, utilisé. Malgré son passé, il est câlin, plein de vie et plus que prêt a trouvé son binôme de vie qui saura le comprendre et l'aimer. Mike reste un chien abimé, qui a besoin de refaire confiance à la vie, il désir aujourd'hui un humain responsable qui l'accompagnera au mieux. Son excitation est haute, il ne pourra pas cohabiter avec des enfants ni des chats. Notre beau Mike est catégorisé, il faudra alors faire le nécessaire en mairie pour être en règle et devra porter une muselière, qu'il tolère plutôt bien. Un petit bijou à découvrir.

About MIKE

What life with MIKE looks like

MIKE is a medium-sized adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

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.

Note from the shelter: Must wear muzzle due to breed categorization laws; requires experienced owner for rehabilitation due to past trauma

🇫🇷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 MIKE, answered.

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