Is there an adoption project for this animal? Please send us an email () to receive the specific adoption questionnaire for the shelter (do not fill out the one on the website). A 7-day reflection period is mandatory between the moment you start your project (first email, phone, or physical contact) and the adoption. Muse is initially reserved, but once she feels at ease, she's a friendly and very affectionate little one. Calm and clean indoors, she can live in an apartment. If there's a garden, it must be well-fenced. Muse is looking for a home without cats or dogs. This beautiful lady is an Amstaff registered with the LOF (category 2). She has ocular dryness and arthritis issues, requiring a lifelong daily treatment for one eye (the other has been removed). She is part of the "Definitive Foster Family" program, with the costs related to her health issues covered by the SPA. Not suitable for homes with cats.

About Muse

What life with Muse looks like

Muse is a medium-sized senior american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at SPA Millau in Millau.

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.

Note from the shelter: Eye dryness requiring daily eye drops, arthritis, one eye removed, ongoing medical treatment covered by shelter

🇫🇷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 Muse, answered.

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