RUBENS (OAA19975)

Papillon · Male · Senior · 14 years

Rubens just arrived at the shelter after being abandoned. He is a lovely dog, affectionate, cuddly and very gentle. He seems to get along with other dogs. However, tests will be necessary for any cohabitation at the shelter. Regarding cats, we still don't know how he gets along with them. Rubens is adorable and can live with calm and respectful children. If this little pup has also captured your heart, don't hesitate to come meet him directly at the shelter.

Rubens vient d'arriver au refuge suite à un abandon. C'est un adorable chien, affectueux, câlin et très doux. Il semble ne rien dire aux autres chiens. Mais pour toute cohabitation des tests seront nécessaires au refuge. Pour les chats nous ne savons pas encore ses ententes. Rubens est adorable et pourra vivre avec des enfants calmes et respectueux. Si ce petit loulou vous a vous aussi fait craquer, n'hésitez pas à venir directement le rencontrer au refuge.

About RUBENS (OAA19975)

What life with RUBENS (OAA19975) looks like

RUBENS (OAA19975) is a senior papillon dog waiting at SPA Orgeval in Orgeval.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 RUBENS (OAA19975), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about RUBENS (OAA19975)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Orgeval handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw RUBENS (OAA19975) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt RUBENS (OAA19975) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Orgeval 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 RUBENS (OAA19975) 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 RUBENS (OAA19975) 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 Orgeval early rather than rehoming privately; they know RUBENS (OAA19975) 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.
