Adopt Samira

Female · Adult · 5 years

Samira is a Breton griffon, sensitive but who has already made great progress. She is very attentive to her sister Samy and helps her a lot, her sister being a bit more timid. Samira will need time and patience to feel fully confident. In order for her to acclimate peacefully, we are looking for a loving family, ready to commit to adopting her along with Samy. The two little ones are inseparable and need a gentle and caring home, capable of offering them stability, affection and presence. They love long walks and enjoying moments of freedom, but it will be necessary to ensure a safe environment as they can be prone to running away. With love, patience and consistency, Samira and Samy will be able to flourish and become faithful and affectionate companions.

Samira est une griffon fauve de Bretagne, sensible mais qui a déjà énormément progressé. Elle est très attentive à sa sœur Samy et l’aide beaucoup, sa sœur étant un peu plus craintive. Samira aura besoin de temps et de patience pour se sentir pleinement en confiance. Pour qu’elle puisse s’acclimater sereinement, nous recherchons une famille aimante, prête à s’investir dans son adoption avec Samy. Les deux louloutes sont inséparables et ont besoin d’un foyer doux et bienveillant, capable de leur offrir stabilité, affection et présence. Elles adorent les longues balades et profiter de moments de liberté, mais il faudra veiller à un environnement sécurisé car elles peuvent être fugueuses. Avec amour, patience et constance, Samira et Samy pourront s’épanouir pleinement et devenir des compagnonnes fidèles et attachantes.

About Samira

What life with Samira looks like

Samira is a adult dog waiting at SPA Laon in Laon.

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 Samira, answered.

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