TUMAINI

Beagle · Male · Senior · 11 years

Tumaini, a large Beagle, also lived with nearly 70 dogs in deplorable conditions. Very fearful, he has a painful memory of humans and will need time, patience, and gentleness to learn to trust. Once reassured, he will be able to reveal all his sweetness. He will need to live in a house with another dog. OK dogs. Tumaini knows nothing about family life and will have everything to learn.

Tumaini, grand Beagle, a lui aussi vécu avec près de 70 chiens dans des conditions déplorables. Très craintif, il garde un douloureux souvenir de l’humain et aura besoin de temps, de patience et de douceur pour apprendre à faire confiance. Une fois rassuré, il pourra révéler toute sa douceur. Il devra vivre en maison, avec un autre chien. OK chiens. Tumaini ne connaît rien de la vie de famille et aura tout à apprendre.

About TUMAINI

What life with TUMAINI looks like

TUMAINI is a senior beagle dog waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

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, and shelters often cover sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and a passport. Confirm with the shelter what is included. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting TUMAINI, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TUMAINI?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SPA Cholet handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw TUMAINI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TUMAINI if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SPA Cholet whether they will for TUMAINI, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is TUMAINI already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for TUMAINI. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SPA Cholet, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if TUMAINI isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SPA Cholet about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know TUMAINI 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.
