TOKYO

English Bulldog · Male · Adult · 4 years

Tokyo, a gentle French Bulldog, was abandoned with her faithful companion S'Thanos, a Rottweiler, when their family moved abroad for professional reasons. Overnight, their world collapsed, but their bond remained intact. Tokyo is a sensitive soul, deeply attached to S'Thanos - he is her anchor, her security, her everything. Where he goes, she follows. Upon arrival, Tokyo suffered from skin problems, silent witnesses to her recent past, but she is now receiving treatment. We dream of a big-hearted family ready to open their arms to this bonded duo - a family that understands that sometimes, adopting means saving two lives at once.

Tokyo nous arrive de fourrière, nous ne connaissons pas son passé. Ce chien plein d'énergie adore les longues promenades et les jeux. Nous vous invitons à remplir le certificat d'engagement et de connaissance avant de venir à sa rencontre au refuge. Disponible sur notre site ainsi que par mail via le formulaire de contact.

About TOKYO

What life with TOKYO looks like

TOKYO is a small adult english bulldog dog waiting at Vallerargues) in Ales.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Has skin problems currently under treatment. Strongly bonded with Rottweiler companion S'Thanos - ideally needs to be adopted together.

🇫🇷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 TOKYO, answered.

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