Adopt NUBA

Basset Hound · Male · Senior · 9 years

NUBA has a lot to learn about real family life, arriving with us after experiencing abuse. He is a hunting dog who will appreciate daily long walks on a leash. He is a fearful dog who will need to live in a calm environment and will require a patient home that will help him evolve at his own pace.

Nuba a tout à apprendre de la vraie vie en famille, arrivé chez nous suite à des maltraitances, c'est un chien de chasse qui appréciera les grandes balades quotidiennes en longe. C'est un chien craintif qui devra vivre dans un environnement calme et aura besoin d'un foyer patient qui l'aidera à évoluer à son rythme.

About NUBA

What life with NUBA looks like

NUBA is a senior basset hound dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

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 NUBA, answered.

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