Adopt RUBIS

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Date entered: 04/11/2025 Cross-breed husky RUBIS is a pleasant dog, she knows how to calm down and enjoys being petted. She tends to pull a bit on the leash. She needs time to trust, it's best to proceed gently. She often cries when she returns to her kennel, she can be prone to over-attachment. Shy and a bit timid, RUBIS especially needs gentleness…

Date entrée : 04/11/2025 Croisée husky RUBIS est une chienne agréable, elle sait se poser et apprécie les caresses. Elle a tendance à tracter un peu en laisse. Elle a besoin de temps pour faire confiance, il faut y aller en douceur. Elle pleure souvent à son retour au box, elle peut être sujette à l’hyper attachement. Timide et un peu craintive, RUBIS a surtout besoin de douceur… et d’une famille pour lui apprendre à aimer sans peur

About RUBIS

What life with RUBIS looks like

RUBIS is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Poitiers in Poitiers.

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 RUBIS, answered.

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