Adopt Nala

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Senior · 9 years

Nala has just arrived at our shelter after spending 2 years at our area. Nala is a very sensitive dog who can quickly become excited, overwhelmed by a flood of emotions. A calm environment without other animals will allow her to thrive, as she listens well. Nala is close to the people she trusts and then lets her true personality shine: tender, joyful, playful, and attentive! At first, she may be a bit wary. Being of a sporting nature, Nala will therefore need to be able to expend energy daily in a home where she is the only pet and without young children. Note that she loves to swim, is well-behaved in the car, and takes care of her coat and toys. Work on managing her emotions will continue in her new family. Category 2 dog, specific legislation, and muzzle required.

Nala vient d'arriver au refuge après avoir passé 2 ans au refuge du Garric suite à un abandon. Nala est une chienne très sensible et qui peut monter vite en excitation, submergée par un trop plein d'émotions. Un environnement calme et sans autres animaux lui permettra de bien évoluer car elle écoute plutôt bien. Nala est proche des personnes en qui elle a confiance et laisse alors sa véritable personnalité s'exprimer : tendre, joyeuse , joueuse et à l'écoute ! Au départ, elle peut se montrer un peu méfiante. De nature sportive, Nala aura donc besoin de pouvoir se dépenser quotidiennement dans un foyer où elle sera le seul animal du foyer et sans jeunes enfants. A noter qu'elle aime se baigner, qu'elle est sage en voiture et qu'elle prend soin de sa couverture et de ses jouets. Le travail sur la gestion de ses émotions sera donc à continuer en famille. Chienne de catégorie 2, législation spécifique et port de la muselière obligatoire.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a medium-sized senior american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at SPA Redon in Redon.

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: Category 2 dog requiring mandatory muzzle wearing in public and specific legislation compliance. Needs emotional regulation work and solo home environment.

🇫🇷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 Nala, answered.

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