Adopt RUBY

Female · Adult · 6 years

RUBY was adopted at two months old and returned six years later. She is sociable with other animals of the same species and even enjoys human company more. RUBY is still young and needs stimulation and exercise; she has good basic training. She will tend to destroy and jump over fences if her needs are not met.

About RUBY

What life with RUBY looks like

RUBY is a adult dog waiting at SPA Torreilles in Torreilles.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting RUBY, answered.

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