RITA

English Setter · Female · Adult · 6 years

Rita est une chienne très câline, joueuse et très attachée à l’humain une fois qu’elle a confiance. Une famille possédant des connaissances en comportement canin serait un atout ; de plus, un accompagnement par un professionnel est chaudement recommandé dès le début de l’adoption. Elle n’a pas l’habitude des longues promenades et peut se bloquer si cela la stresse trop. Si suivre d’autres chiens peut la motiver, elle peut cependant avoir du mal avec un contact direct. Avec son tempérament sensible, une famille sans enfants et sans autres animaux, dotée de temps, de patience et d’amour, serait le foyer idéal pour cette petite éponge émotionnelle.

About RITA

What life with RITA looks like

RITA is a adult english setter dog waiting at SPA Beaurepaire-en-Bresse in Beaurepaire.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting RITA, answered.

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