Adopt Roxie, xYorkshire de 5ans

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Hi, my name is Roxie. Let me introduce myself a bit: I am a 5-year-old Yorkshire terrier, the lovely age where you are still full of life but more settled. I am a small dog weighing 5 kilograms. I get along very well with other animals of the same species; I would always be up for a walk with friends. I prefer to be honest with you, at first I may seem a bit shy or have my own little character. I don't give my heart to just anyone! But don't be fooled by this exterior. Once I feel safe and have learned to know you, I change completely. Once trust is established, I love cuddles. It's a moment of absolute happiness for me. My favorite activity? Climbing on a chair to observe everything going on around me. I like to see life from higher up! I'm waiting for only one thing: to find my forever family. Someone who will respect my pace, understand my little shyness at first, and give me all the love I deserve in return. For more information or to come meet me, don't hesitate to contact the SPA de Rodez via social media or by phone from 10am to 12pm and from 3pm to 6pm except on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Coucou, moi c’est Roxie. Laissez moi me présenter un peu : Je suis une petite yorkshire de 5 ans, le bel âge où l’on est encore plein de vie mais plus posée. Je suis une petite chienne de 5kilos. Je m’entends très bien avec mes congénères, je serai toujours partante pour une balade avec des copains. Je préfère être honnête avec vous, au premier abord, je peux paraître un peu timide ou avoir mon petit caractère. Je ne donne pas mon coeur au premier venu ! Mais ne vous fiez pas à cette façade. Une fois que je me sens en sécurité et que j’ai appris à vous connaître, je change du tout au tout. Une fois la confiance installée, j’adore les caresses. C’est un moment de bonheur absolu pour moi. Mon activité favorite ? Grimper sur une chaise pour observer tout ce qui se passe autour de moi. J’aime voir la vie de plus haut ! Je n’attends plus qu’une chose : trouver ma famille pour la vie. Quelqu’un qui saura respecter mon rythme, comprendre ma petite timidité au début et me donner tout l’amour que je mérite en retour. Pour avoir plus d’informations ou pour venir me rencontrer, n’hésitez pas à contacter la SPA de Rodez via les réseaux sociaux ou par téléphone au 05.65.71.99.36 de 10h à 12h et de 15h à 18h excepté le mardi et le jeudi.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roxie, xYorkshire de 5ans, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roxie, xYorkshire de 5ans?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Société Protectrice des Animaux SPA de Rodez handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Roxie, xYorkshire de 5ans on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roxie, xYorkshire de 5ans if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Société Protectrice des Animaux SPA de Rodez 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 Roxie, xYorkshire de 5ans 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 Roxie, xYorkshire de 5ans 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 Société Protectrice des Animaux SPA de Rodez early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roxie, xYorkshire de 5ans 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.
