Adopt R2D2

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Hello everyone, it's me, R2D2! I arrived at the shelter with my brother C-3PO from another place. The Guinea Pig (that's me!) is a small social rodent. That means we'll need a home that's willing to welcome both my brother and me for a nice life in semi-freedom (or full freedom if possible in the living space)! Since our species doesn't produce vitamin C, it will be essential to provide us with a vitamin C-rich diet, or give us a supplement. So, when can we meet?

Bonjour tous le monde, c'est moi R2D2 ! Je suis arrivé au refuge avec mon frère C-3PO en provenance d'un autre refuge de notre réseau. Le Cochon d'Inde (donc moi !) est un petit rongeur grégaire. C'est-à-dire qu'il faudra un foyer qui voudra bien nous accueillir tous les deux, mon frère et moi pour une belle vie en semi liberté (voire liberté totale si cela peut être envisageable dans le logement) ! Notre espèce ne fabricant pas de vitamine C, il sera indispensable de nous fournir une alimentation en contenant, ou nous donner un complément alimentaire. Alors, on se rencontre quand ?

About R2D2

What life with R2D2 looks like

R2D2 is a young adult mixed breed animal waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows R2D2 far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇫🇷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 R2D2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about R2D2?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw R2D2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt R2D2 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque) 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 R2D2 already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 R2D2 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 Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque) early rather than rehoming privately; they know R2D2 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.
