SCARLA

Female · Adult · 7 years

Scarla is a wonderful dog who needs time to get to know people before giving her trust. Once she trusts, she becomes extremely close to humans and very endearing. With some treats - as she is very food-motivated - you can quickly become her best friend! Scarla prefers to be the only dog in the household as she doesn't get along with other dogs. She's also not comfortable with young children, so a calm home without young children would be ideal for her. Scarla is in urgent need of rescue, particularly because she must follow a specific diet of hypoallergenic kibble due to her many years in the shelter.

FR·Show original

Scarla 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 ! Scarla 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. Scarla 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 medium-sized adult dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires hypoallergenic diet and special kibble due to allergies

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. 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 Tours (Luynes) 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 Tours (Luynes) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Tours (Luynes) 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.
