Adopt Tania

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 5 years

Tania arrived at the shelter through a transfer from another shelter. She is a dynamic, food-loving, and affectionate dog. Tania is cautious around strangers, but once she trusts someone, she is a sweetie who loves going for walks and receiving cuddles. Tania can get along with male dogs, as long as they are not too intrusive. She will not be placed with children or teenagers.

Tania est arrivée au refuge suite à un transfert d’un autre refuge. C'est une chienne dynamique, gourmande et affectueuse. Tania est méfiante envers les inconnus, mais une fois en confiance c’est une fifille qui aime aller se promener et recevoir des câlins. Tania peut s'entendre avec les chiens mâles, si ces derniers ne sont pas trop envahissants.

About Tania

What life with Tania looks like

Tania is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Arras (Tilloy) in Arras.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient owner due to wariness of strangers

🇫🇷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 Tania, answered.

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