TARTINE

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Abandoned on the public street at eleven years old, TARTINE finds herself at our shelter with no sense of place. She is an old grandma with Olympic calm and great gentleness. TARTINE is handicapped in her hind leg due to a fracture that was never treated. As a result, she no longer uses her hind leg but has learned to manage just fine. She still enjoys quiet walks but will need access to a garden to make her life easier. We do not yet know her compatibility, and she will be tested on a case-by-case basis. TARTINE is looking for a quiet home for a well-coddled retirement.

FR·Show original

Abandonné sur la voie publique à 11 ans, Tartine se retrouve au refuge sans aucun repères. C'est une vieille mamie d'un calme olympien et d'une grande douceur. Tartine est handicapé d'une patte arrière suite à une fracture qui n'a jamais été traitée. De ce fait elle ne pose plus sa patte mais elle a appris à se débrouiller comme ça. Elle apprécie tout de même les petites balades calmes mais aura besoin d'un accès à un jardin pour lui faciliter la vie. Nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes, elle pourra être testé au cas par cas. Tartine recherche un foyer calme pour y passer une retraite bien dorlotée.

About TARTINE

What life with TARTINE looks like

TARTINE is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient, calm environment and experienced adopters who can work with shy, timid behavior

🇫🇷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 TARTINE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TARTINE?
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 TARTINE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TARTINE 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 TARTINE 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 TARTINE 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 TARTINE 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.
