SALSA

Dachshund · Female · Adult · 7 years

SALSA was rescued following an investigation, she was living confined in a caravan with her brother and her three puppies. She is friendly with the shelter team, but can be wary of unfamiliar visitors (without any aggression). SALSA does not get along with other dogs, nor with cats or small animals. Work on cross-species breedings of the same species on walks will need to continue in a family setting. SALSA can live in an apartment or a house. She can live with children, but we will avoid very young ones.

FR·Show original

Salsa a été récupérée suite à une enquête, elle vivait enfermée dans une caravane avec son frère et ses trois chiots. Elle se montre avenante avec l'équipe du refuge, mais peut se montrer méfiante des inconnus qui viennent la rencontrer (sans aucune agressivité). Salsa ne s'entend pas avec les avec les chats / petits animaux. Elle peut s'entendre avec certains congénères un test devra être fait directement au refuge. Le travail sur les croisements congénères en promenade devra être poursuivi en famille. Salsa pourra vivre en appartement comme en maison. Elle pourra vivre avec des enfants, mais nous éviterons ceux en bas-âge.

About SALSA

What life with SALSA looks like

SALSA is a adult dachshund dog waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

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 SALSA, answered.

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