PAPAYA

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 11 months

Je m'appelle Papaya, et je cherche ma famille pour la vie ! 🐾 🔹 Sexe : femelle ♀️ 🔹 Naissance estimée : octobre 2025 🔹 Taille approximative adulte : petite-moyenne ⚠️ Attention, ma taille adulte est une pure estimation. 🔹 Caractère : timide, a besoin de temps pour faire confiance ‼️ Je me trouve en fourrière en Roumanie, vous ne pourrez pas me rencontrer avant de m'adopter Je suis si jeune mais aujourd’hui, je suis déjà derrière les barreaux d’une fourrière. Je ne comprends pas cet endroit. Le bruit, les odeurs, les aboiements… tout me terrorise. Alors je fais ce que je peux pour me protéger : je me blottis contre le mur, le plus loin possible, comme si je pouvais devenir invisible. Je voudrais disparaître… Quand quelqu’un s’approche, j’ai encore du mal à comprendre que je ne risque rien. Je me cache, je me recroqueville… mais derrière cette peur immense se cache une petite chienne pleine de douceur. Je sais que je ne pourrai pas m’ouvrir en quelques jours.J’aurai besoin de temps, de patience et de beaucoup de bienveillance. J’aurai besoin d’une personne qui ne me demandera pas d’être immédiatement une chienne parfaite. Quelqu’un qui acceptera de s’asseoir près de moi, de me laisser observer, de respecter mes silences… et qui me montrera, petit à petit, que je suis enfin en sécurité. 🤍 🔹 Entente ✅ congénères et humains 🔹 Entente ❓ avec les chats (à tester) 🏡 Maison ou appartement, il faudra m'apprendre la vie de famille avec patience, douceur et bienveillance! 🔹 Ide

About PAPAYA

What life with PAPAYA looks like

PAPAYA is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at L in l arche de kala.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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 PAPAYA, answered.

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