SOLTANE

English Setter · Male · Adult · 4 years

SOLTANE is a dog coming from severe mistreatment. He is a dog deeply marked by his past and reacts strongly out of fear. When well guided, he is a very touching and bonded companion with his humans. A follow-up with a compassionate trainer will be necessary to help him settle smoothly into his new life. SOLTANE must live in peace in the countryside and can share his home with another dog but not with children. SOLTANE also has skin issues that will require lifelong treatment.

FR·Show original

Soltane est un chien sortie de grosse maltraitance. C'est un chien très marqué par son passé qui reagit très fort de peur. Quand il est bien guidé c'est un chien très touchant et fusionnel avec ses humains. Un suivit avec un éducateur bienveillant sera nécessaire pour l'accompagner sereinement dans sa nouvelle vie. Soltane devra vivre au calme en campagne et pourra partager son foyer avec un chien mais pas avec des enfants. Soltane a aussi des problèmes de peaux qui nécessitent un traitement à vie.

About SOLTANE

What life with SOLTANE looks like

SOLTANE is a adult english setter 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.

🇫🇷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 SOLTANE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SOLTANE?
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 SOLTANE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SOLTANE 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is SOLTANE 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 SOLTANE 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 SOLTANE 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.
