NINO

Male · Senior · 26 years

NINO is a donkey who arrived at the shelter in 2014. Ten years passed at the shelter without the chance to experience the joy of adoption... So yes, he is not always easy to live with; a bit mischievous, he doesn't always let himself be caught in the pasture and can sometimes become scared by sudden movements and the interventions of the veterinarian and farrier. However, since living in the pasture with a small group of ponies, he has become a bit more curious. NINO will need adopters who are motivated, gentle, and especially patient, who will know how to accept him as he is, with his flaws but also his hidden qualities... In urgent need of adoption given his age and condition.

FR·Show original

NINO est un mulet, arrivé en 2014. Dix années passé au refuge sans avoir eu la chance de connaître le bonheur de l'adoption... Alors oui, il n'est pas toujours facile à vivre ; un brin malicieux, il ne se laisse pas toujours attraper au pré et peut parfois prendre peur face aux gestes brusques et aux interventions du vétérinaire et du maréchal ferrant. Cependant, depuis qu'il vit au pré avec un petit groupe de poneys, il se montre un peu plus curieux. NINO aura besoin d'adoptants motivés, doux et surtout patients, qui sauront l'accepter tel qu'il est, avec ses défauts mais aussi es qualités, un peu cachées... En SOS adoption au vu de son âge et de sa fourbure.

About NINO

What life with NINO looks like

NINO is a large senior horse waiting at SPA Grand Refuge de Pervenchères in Pervencheres.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

Note from the shelter: Has laminitis (fourbure), requires patient and gentle handling, fearful of sudden movements and veterinary/farrier interventions

🇫🇷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 NINO, answered.

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