Tovia

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Our little Tovia was left at the shelter with her 4 sisters (Tawny, Touka, Talma and Tiwenn) and her 5 brothers (Toffy, Thova, Towan, Tobiah and Toben). Tovia, Tobiah and Thova are the last ones in the litter to not have found a family. Tovia is a shy, but kind and friendly dog. Good with other dogs at the shelter.

Notre petit Tovia a été déposé au refuge avec ses 4 sœurs (Tawny, Touka, Talma et Tiwenn) et ses 5 frères (Toffy, Thova, Towan, Tobiah et Toben). Tovia, Tobiah et Thova sont les derniers de la portée à ne pas avoir trouvé de famille. Tovia est un loulou timide, mais gentil et amicale. Ok avec les autres chiens du refuge. Voir l’album

About Tovia

What life with Tovia looks like

Tovia is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Refuge d in France.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tovia, answered.

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