How do I contact the shelter about Pims?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Loire Atlantique handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pims on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pims if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Loire Atlantique 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 Pims 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 Pims 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 de Loire Atlantique early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pims 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.

Pims

Female · Young · 1 year

Home Pims Crossbreed Griffon, Female, born in February 2025 Category: Adopted DescriptionAdditional Information Pims is a lively dog. She will need appropriate physical activity, consistent routines, and regular guidance. Abandoned and left tied to the gate alongside her companion Oreo, we know nothing about her past. Pims is a dog who particularly lacks confidence and needs to regain trust in humans and socialize with all the surrounding environment. The presence of another male dog already living in the home is recommended to help her progress positively. She is energetic, still very young, and has high exercise and attention needs. Of course, all her training will need to be done. She is looking for adopters who are aware of the work involved, gentle and kind, active and sufficiently present, able to devote time to supporting her long-term development. Pims experiences difficulties and reluctance when being handled or faced with simple constraints; it will be important to carefully listen to her signals and opt for a gentle, positive socialization approach. Placement not suitable for young children—minimum older teenagers required. Pims is seeking adopters who are present and active, ready to continue her education consistently. Desired living conditions: house with a securely fenced garden. Additional Information Gender Female Origin Crossbreed Breed French Pointer Born in February 2025 Date of arrival at the shelter December 2025 Identification 250268781983079 Living Conditions House with garden essential Energy Level High Compatibility with Cats To be tested Compatibility with Dogs Compatible with males depending on introductions Children No young children, yes teenagers Similar Products Pago Jamsy Palma

About Pims

What life with Pims looks like

Pims is a young adult dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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.
