Adopt NUTTY

Female · Senior · 12 years

NUTTY is a grandma who was found in the street; nobody claimed her, and that's a good thing for her because we've learned that she was on a leash! She's gentle but quite stressed by the shelter, so she doesn't show her best side in the kennel... However, when you take the time to take her out and spend some time with her, you discover a very human-friendly, playful dog who just wants to share lots of activities with her owners. She's sociable with other dogs of the same species and can also live with cats. NUTTY is evaluated 1/4, everything will be explained at the shelter! A wonderful grandma to meet urgently.

Nutty est une mamie qui été trouvée dans la rue, personne ne l'a réclamée et c'est une bonne chose pour elle car nous avons appris qu'elle vivait à l'attache ! Gentille mais assez stressée par le refuge, elle ne se montre pas sous son meilleur jour dans le box... Pourtant lorsqu'on prend le temps de la sortir et de s'occuper d'elle, on découvre une chienne très proche de l'humain, très joueuse, et qui ne demande qu'à partager plein d'activités avec ses maitres. Elle est sociable avec ses congénères et pourra 2galement vivre avec des chats. Nutty est évalué 1/4, tout vous sera expliqué au refuge ! Une merveilleuse mamie à rencontrer en urgence.

About NUTTY

What life with NUTTY looks like

NUTTY is a senior dog waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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 NUTTY, answered.

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