Riuk

Male · Young · 1 year

Riuk arrived at the shelter after being abandoned and is sweet, friendly, and pleasant with humans. Riuk has also undergone surgery for a fracture of his right femur, with the insertion of a pin. He is gradually recovering from this procedure. Accustomed to living in an apartment, he is looking for a calm, stable, and secure home where he can take the time to regain his bearings. His compatibility with other cats remains to be discovered. With patience, gentleness, and a lot of love, Riuk will thrive with his future family.

About Riuk

What life with Riuk looks like

Riuk is a young adult dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Riuk, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Riuk?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Riuk on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Riuk if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Riuk 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 Riuk 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Riuk 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.
