NITRO

Cane Corso · Male · Senior · 9 years

NITRO is only adoptable with Siska, his lifelong companion. He is a gentle old boy with a calm and affectionate temperament, very affectionate and close to humans. He loves being taken care of, enjoys quiet walks in the sun, but most of all... he loves Siska. Thanks to her, NITRO forgets the passing years. He becomes playful again, marvels, and enjoys life... Siska is his spark of youth. Today, they are waiting for their chance to continue their beautiful story together, away from the shelter, in a quiet and stable place. A placement without other animals and without young children would be ideal. Due to his age, NITRO has health issues (arthritis) that will require special attention and regular veterinary care. NITRO dreams of a warm and peaceful retirement home, but more than anything, he wishes never to be separated from his soul mate. This animal needs to be the only pet in the home.

FR·Show original

Nitro est uniquement à adopter avec Siska, sa copine de toujours. C'est un papy au tempérament calme et câlin, très affectueux et proche de l'humain. Il adore qu'on s'occupe de lui, aime les balades tranquilles au soleil mais surtout... Il aime Siska. Grâce à elle, Nitro oublie les années qui passent. Il redevient joueur, s’émerveille, profite de la vie… Siska, c’est son étincelle de jeunesse. Aujourd'hui ils attendent leur chance de continuer leur belle histoire ensemble, loin du refuge, dans un endroit calme et stable. Un placement sans autres animaux et sans jeunes enfants serait idéal. Vu son âge, Nitro a des soucis de santé (arthrose) qui nécessiteront une attention particulière et un suivi vétérinaire régulier. Nitro rêve d'un panier retraite au chaud et au calme, mais il souhaite plus que tout, ne jamais être séparée de son âme-soeur.

About NITRO

What life with NITRO looks like

NITRO is a senior cane corso dog waiting at SPA Troyes in Troyes.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting NITRO, answered.

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