Adopt SCARLA

Female · Adult · 6 years

Scala is a super dog who needs time to learn to know before she can trust. Once she feels safe, she shows herself to be extremely close to humans and very affectionate. With a few treats—since she is quite the gourmet—one can quickly become her best friend! Scala prefers to be the only dog in the household, as she does not get along with other dogs of the same species. She is also not very comfortable around young children; a calm home without young children would therefore be ideal for her. Scala is in SOS, particularly because she must follow a specific diet of hypoallergenic dry kibble and has been in refuge for many years. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Read original (fr)

Scala est une super chienne qui a besoin de temps pour apprendre à connaître avant d’accorder sa confiance. Une fois en confiance, elle se montre extrêmement proche de l’humain et très attachante. Avec quelques friandises — car elle est très gourmande — on peut rapidement devenir son meilleur ami ! Scala préfère être le seul chien du foyer, car elle ne s’entend pas avec ses congénères. Elle n’est pas non plus très à l’aise avec les enfants en bas âge ; un foyer calme, sans jeunes enfants, serait donc idéal pour elle. Scala est en SOS, notamment parce qu’elle doit suivre une alimentation spécifique à base de croquettes hypoallergéniques et de ses nombreuses années de refuge.

About SCARLA

What life with SCARLA looks like

SCARLA is a adult dog waiting at SPA Perpignan in Perpignan.

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 SCARLA, answered.

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