Stitch

Male · Young · 3 years

🐶 Who is he? Do you remember Stitch, the alien with a big heart from Lilo & Stitch? Well, here is our 100% terrestrial and muscular version: Stitch, a American Bully / Labrador mix as touching as he is endearing. A little shy at first, he has a lot of love to give to those who inspire his trust. Once the ice is broken, this big sensitive soul reveals himself to be close to humans, affectionate and with real potential as a family dog. 🏡 His ideal home Stitch is dreaming of a house with a garden to enjoy his moments of freedom. Cats are clearly not his best friends..., and he has not been socialized with other animals of the same species. On the other hand, regarding cleanliness, he has already shown that he knows how to behave. With patience, gentleness and a reassuring environment, this big-hearted guy will become a loyal companion, ready to write his best story by the side of his future family.

About Stitch

What life with Stitch looks like

Stitch is a young adult dog waiting at SPA Saint-Étienne Loire in Saint-Étienne.

An young 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 Stitch, answered.

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