How do I contact the shelter about Tayana?

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

Can I adopt Tayana if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Loire Atlantique 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 Tayana 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 Tayana 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 de Loire Atlantique early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tayana 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.

Adopt Tayana

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Young · 2 years

Tayana Female Born in June 2022 Mixed Breed Description Description Back at the shelter after a year of adoption, Tayana was returned by her family due to the arrival of children... She is actually a great dog, very playful, nervous and very energetic! Very close to humans, she is ready for anything to get attention. She is looking for adopters who are present, who can teach her to handle absence, as she was neglected in the past, and now Tayana can no longer stand being alone. She is a real athlete, who needs daily exercise, very agile and enduring! She loves water, running, playing, chewing balls and cuddles (once she's well exercised). All her training needs to be restarted, it may be necessary to be accompanied by a professional. She is looking for adopters ready to invest 200% with her, in the long term. A great dog who has lost a year of her life, wasted... Help her, to get out of the shelter and discover that humans can be better than that. Today, she has a lot of trouble coping with life at the shelter... The life in the box drives her crazy and she spends her time bouncing off the walls. Additional information Arrival date at the shelter: April 2024 Identification: 250269590793074 Can live with cats: yes Can live with other dogs: no Can live with children: yes, with usual precautions Preferred living conditions:

Tayana Femelle Née en juin 2022 Croisée Amstaff Description Description De retour au refuge après une année d'adoption, Tayana a été mise au rebu par sa famille, suite à l'arrivée des enfants... C'est pourtant une super chienne, très joueuse, nerveuse et très dynamique ! Très proche de l'humain, elle est prête à tout pour attirer l'attention. Elle recherche notamment des adoptants présents, qui pourront lui apprendre à gérer les absences, car délaissée dans son passé, aujourd'hui Tayana ne supporte plus de rester seule. C'est une vraie sportive, qui a besoin d'exercices au quotidien, très agile et endurante ! Elle adore l'eau, courir, jouer, mâchouiller les ballons et les câlins (une fois, bien défoulée). Toute son éducation est à reprendre, peut-être sera t'il nécessaire de se faire accompagner par un professionnel. Elle recherche des adoptants prêts à s'investir à 200% avec elle, sur le long terme. Une excellente chienne qui a perdue une année de vie, gâchée... Aidez là, à sortir du refuge et découvrir que l'humain peut être meilleur que ça. Aujourd'hui, elle a beaucoup de mal à supporter la vie au refuge... La vie de box la rend dingue et elle passe son temps, à rebondir sur les murs.

About Tayana

What life with Tayana looks like

Tayana is a young adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at SPA de Loire Atlantique in Nantes.

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.
