Mimi

Female · Senior · 10 years

Mimi – Female Beldi, Senior, Available for Adoption Mimi is an iconic figure at the sanctuary. She has a unique presence and a gentle, deeply endearing soul. Over ten years old, Mimi has lived a particular life. For a long time, she lived in a neighborhood where she was fed and tolerated. But over time, her health declined. She developed mammary cancer, and her future was in danger. The pound risked having her put down. We then decided to take her in, care for her, and give her the chance she deserved. Thanks to the care and attention she has received, Mimi was able to be treated. Today, she lives peacefully at the sanctuary, surrounded and loved. Mimi is a dog with a distinct character of her own. She is a quiet strength. Calm and composed, she radiates a reassuring presence. Very attached to people, she loves moments of tenderness and closeness. She can sometimes be jealous when she receives attention, simply expressing her need for exclusive affection. This small facet of her personality makes her deeply unique and touching. Mimi is an older dog who is overweight and lives with a thyroid disorder that requires daily treatment. This in no way diminishes her joy of living. She loves walks, getting some fresh air, watching the world at her own pace, and enjoying every moment. She is sociable and gets along well with dogs, cats, and farm animals. Her natural gentleness allows her to settle easily into a peaceful environment. Today, Mimi deserves a dignified retirement, a calm and loving home where she can spend her remaining years surrounded by gentleness, stability, and care. Adopting Mimi means giving an extraordinary dog a end-of-life filled with love, and receiving in return a soothing presence.

Mimi – Femelle Beldi, senior, à l’adoption Mimi est une figure emblématique du sanctuaire. Une présence unique, une âme douce et profondément attachante. Âgée de plus de dix ans, Mimi a connu une vie particulière. Pendant longtemps, elle vivait dans un quartier où elle était nourrie et tolérée. Mais avec le temps, sa santé s’est dégradée. Elle a développé un cancer des mamelles, et son avenir était menacé. La fourrière risquait de la tuer Nous avons alors décidé de la recueillir, de la soigner et de lui offrir la chance qu’elle méritait.

C’est une force tranquille. Calme, posée, elle dégage une présence rassurante. Très attachée à l’humain, elle adore les moments de tendresse et de complicité. Elle peut parfois se montrer jalouse lorsqu’elle reçoit de l’attention, exprimant simplement son besoin d’amour exclusif. Cette petite facette de sa personnalité la rend profondément unique et touchante. Mimi est une chienne âgée et en surpoids, qui vit avec un dérèglement de la thyroïde nécessitant un traitement quotidien. Cela n’altère en rien sa joie de vivre.

About Mimi

What life with Mimi looks like

Mimi is a large senior dog waiting at Nos Amis Pour La Vie Europe in France.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Mimi, answered.

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