Tyson

Rottweiler · Male · Senior · 10 years

Found alone in a home, together with my unlucky companion Kenza, I've come back from a long way off. I was emaciated, and after 5 months at the shelter I've regained 10kg. I'm doing well on my feet. I accept females and can be tested with males. However, I find it hard to accept cats; I get very excited at the sight of them. I'm in very good shape for my age, I just have arthritis in my lower back, and I'm rather friendly and cool with humans. Adoption costs a maximum of 50€, and an additional donation to the shelter is of course welcome. The animal is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and neutered. He has also benefited from a senior health check, which includes blood and urine tests and a chest X-ray. As an adopter of a senior, you will benefit from the 30 Millions d'Amis "Doyen" operation: "For all dogs or cats over 10 years old adopted from our shelter, the foundation commits to covering any veterinary costs up to 1000€." A commitment and care certificate

Trouvé seul dans un logement, avec ma copine d'infortune Kenza, je reviens de loin, j'étais en cachexie, après 5 mois au refuge, j'ai repris 10kg. Je suis bien dans mes pattes, j'accepte les femelles, je peux être testé avec les mâles, par contre, j'ai du mal à accepter les chats, je suis très excité à leur vue. Je suis très en forme pour mon âge, j'ai juste de l'arthrose au niveau des lombaires et je suis plutôt sympa et cool avec les humains. L’adoption est de maximum 50€, un don supplémentaire est bien sûr possible pour le refuge. L’animal est pucé, vacciné, déparasité et castré. Il a aussi bénéficié d’un bilan de santé sénior qui comprend un bilan sanguin et urinaire et une radio thoracique.

About Tyson

What life with Tyson looks like

Tyson is a senior rottweiler dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

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 Tyson, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tyson?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SPA de Périgueux handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tyson on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tyson 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 de Périgueux whether they will for Tyson, 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 Tyson already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: SPA de Périgueux lists Tyson as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SPA de Périgueux, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tyson isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SPA de Périgueux about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tyson 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.
