How do I contact the shelter about Shiva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. S.P.A Vauclusienne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Shiva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Shiva if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — S.P.A Vauclusienne 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 Shiva 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 Shiva 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 S.P.A Vauclusienne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Shiva 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.

Shiva

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

I take up the pen because one is never better served than by oneself. My name is Shiva. Young, I still am. Beautiful, I always will be! Arrogant too... The muzzle is a given, but sometimes I throw tantrums to wear it. I respect the males if they respect me; the females, well, they need to be tested still. My aunts say that with time, I've mellowed and I'm improving every day. It seems... but personally, I think it's a bit of an exaggeration... it seems, therefore, that I'm a bit stubborn. However, unanimously, my aunts say that I'm incredibly intelligent, that I understand everything (basic commands, for example), that I'm attuned to humans. Thanks to my greediness, you can get a lot out of me. Walks with me are nice, and let's not forget, gentlemen and ladies, that I'm a very affectionate little one... with or without a treat. There, I believe I've left nothing out. Don't hesitate to contact my secretary to set up a very very quick appointment. I'm going to play ball again in the meantime...

Je prends la plume car on est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même. Je m’appelle Shiva. Jeune, ça va je le suis encore. Belle, je le serai toujours ! Prétentieuse aussi... Le port de la muselière est acquis mais parfois, il m’arrive de faire des caprices pour la mettre. Je respecte les mâles s’ils me respectent ; les femelles faut tester encore. Mes taties disent qu’avec le temps, je me suis assagie et que je m’améliore de jour en jour. Il paraîtrait … mais enfin, perso, je trouve qu’on exagère un peu … il paraîtrait donc, que je suis un tantinet têtue. Par contre à l’unanimité, mes taties disent que je suis hyper intelligente, que je comprends tout (les ordres de base par exemple), que je suis à l’écoute de l’humain. Grace à ma gourmandise, vous pouvez obtenir beaucoup de moi. Les balades en ma compagnie sont sympas et n’oublions surtout pas, messieurs dames, que je suis une louloute très affectueuse .. avec ou sans friandise. Voilà, je crois n’avoir rien oublié. N’hésitez pas à contacter mon secrétariat pour poser un rendez-vous très très vite. Je retourne jouer à la balle en attendant...

About Shiva

What life with Shiva looks like

Shiva is a adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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.
