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 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 TUMAINI, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TUMAINI?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Cholet 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 TUMAINI 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 TUMAINI 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 Cholet 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.
