Adopt TROTTY

Shar Pei · Male · Young · 1 year

TROTTY is a small clown. Arrived from the pound, we know nothing of his past. Rather human-friendly, he is playful and affectionate. With other dogs, he shows reactivity, and a positive behavioral rehabilitation will need to be considered. Unfortunately, he has mobility issues, and after examinations, we discovered cysts in his brain that may also influence his behavior. The evolution of these cysts is difficult to predict, but his lifespan will be reduced, so TROTTY is in an SOS adoption. We are looking for a countryside home without children and without other animals. Come meet this little bundle of joy who will melt your heart. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Trotty est un petit clown. Arrivé de fourrière, nous ne connaissons pas son passé. Plutôt proche de l'humain, il est joueur et câlin. Avec les autres chiens il se montre réactif, un travail de rééducation en positif sera à envisagé. Malheureusement, il a des troubles locomoteurs, suite à des examens nous avons découvert des kystes dans son cerveau qui peuvent aussi influencer son comportement. Leur évolution est difficile à connaitre mais son espérance de vie sera réduite, Trotty est donc en adoption SOS. Nous lui cherchons un foyer en campagne de plain pieds sans enfants et sans animaux. Venez rencontrer ce petit bout en train qui fera fondre votre cœur.

About TROTTY

What life with TROTTY looks like

TROTTY is a young adult shar pei dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

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 TROTTY, answered.

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