Adopt Toby

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Toby Encore un dimanche derrière les grilles… Depuis le 20 juin 2022, Toby attend sa vraie famille. Ce croisé mastin de 8 ans est arrivé de la fourrière en Espagne avec d’autres chiens. Tous ont été adoptés. Lui aussi a eu sa chance en mai 2023, adopté pendant 10 mois… Mais il est revenu au refuge : jardin non clôturé, fugues, difficultés à le gérer. Pas sa faute. Juste pas les bonnes conditions. Toby, c’est un chien affectueux, calme, fidèle. Il aime les balades (même s’il tire encore un peu), et il a besoin d’espace pour être heureux. Il rêve d’un jardin bien clôturé, d’amour, et de stabilit

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA du Centre in spa du centre.

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.

🇫🇷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 Toby, answered.

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