How do I contact the shelter about ROBY?

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

Can I adopt ROBY if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Lagord / La Rochelle 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 ROBY 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 ROBY 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 Lagord / La Rochelle early rather than rehoming privately; they know ROBY 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.

ROBY

Mixed Breed · Male

Dory, at the shelter for 30 days. My name is ROBY, a pretty little bichon who hasn't had much luck in the beginning of my life 🙁 I unfortunately return to the shelter for the second time, without it being my fault. I am a joyful, gentle, rather social dog who enjoys human contact and their company. In my last family, I was indeed fused with my mistress, never leaving her side, but as a result, I was also protective, which could sometimes make me a bit jealous. I love going for walks a lot and I need a gentle and calm approach to build my trust (I don't like sudden movements and head manipulations). I don't particularly like contact with my other this breeds, but I get along with the cats. I can live with children if they are calm, gentle, and know how to respect my tranquility. I hope my next family will be the last one, who will love me until the end, who will have the patience to learn to know me, take care of me in calm, gentleness, and kindness. I have a lot of love to give, give me a chance and a little time!

Dory, au refuge depuis 30 jours Je m’appelle Roby, joli petit bichon qui n’a pas eu beaucoup de chance dans mon début de vie 🙁 Je reviens malheureusement au refuge après un 2ème abandon, sans que ce soit de ma faute. Je suis un chien joyeux, gentil, plutôt sociable, j’apprécie le contact humain et leur compagnie. Dans ma dernière famille j’étais en effet fusionnel avec ma maîtresse que je ne quittait jamais, mais du coup aussi protecteur, ce qui pouvait parfois me rendre un peu jaloux. J’aime beaucoup partir en balade et j’ai besoin d’une approche avec douceur et calme pour que je prenne confiance (je n’aime pas les gestes brusques et les manipulations au niveau de la tête). Je n’aime pas trop le contact avec mes congénères a priori, mais je m’entends avec les chats. Je peux vivre avec des enfants s’ils sont calmes, doux et qu’ils savent respecter ma tranquilité. J’espère que ma prochaine famille sera enfin la dernière, qui pourra m’aimer jusqu’à la fin, qui saura avoir la patience d’apprendre à me connaitre, prendre soins de moi dans le calme, la douceur et la bienveillance. J’ai plein d’amour à donner donnez moi une chance et un peu de temps !

About ROBY

What life with ROBY looks like

ROBY is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Lagord / La Rochelle in Lagord.

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.
