UMA &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

I'm called Uma. I'm barely 8 weeks old, and my whole life still holds in a few more discoveries and lots of naps. With my siblings, we were found on a pile of manure when we were just a few weeks old. Since then, I've discovered houses, humans, hugs... and honestly, life is pretty great. I'm a little, lively pup, curious and comfortable in my paws. I love to discover, try, and start over. I explore with my mouth, I gnaw, and it will take patience to keep up with me. I'm very social with humans, I want to say hello to everyone. In my foster family, I accompany the little boy to the bus stop, and I take this mission very seriously. I live with a 2-year-old Beagle named Gaby. I adore her, and fortunately, she's very patient. If I join a family with another dog, it will need to be well in its paws. I'm rather independent. I love hugs, but I'm happy to nap in my own spot, I love to observe from the balcony, and I already know how to keep myself occupied. I also have a passion: water. I'll probably turn my bowl into a municipal pool. I love to splash everywhere and try to participate in human showers. At home, I'm serene. The sounds of daily life, the movements around me... nothing seems to really bother me. I sleep deeply even when a lot is happening around me. I'm starting to learn the first rules of life. I know my name, I wait by my bowl, and I'm beginning to understand some routines. But I remain a baby. Potty training isn't a given. Walking on a leash is a lesson. Everything is still to be built. I'm going to go through tough periods. I'm probably going to make a few mistakes, chew on objects not meant for me, and sometimes forget the rules I was taught the day before. That's normal. I'm a little pup full of potential and good spirits. I'm looking for a family ready to accompany me with patience and to accept that growing up takes time. They say some dogs leave more than a paw print in a house... they transform it, just by the way they are there. So fill out a form for me quickly:

Je m’appelle Uma. J’ai à peine 8 semaines, et toute ma vie tient encore dans quelques découvertes et beaucoup de siestes. Avec ma fratrie, nous avons été retrouvés sur un tas de fumier alors que nous n’avions que quelques semaines. Depuis, j’ai découvert les maisons, les humains, les câlins… et franchement, la vie est plutôt chouette. Je suis une petite chienne pleine de vie, curieuse et bien dans mes pattes. J’aime découvrir, essayer, recommencer. Je découvre avec la bouche, je mordille, et il faudra m’accompagner avec patience. Je suis très sociable avec les humains, j’ai envie de dire bonjour à tout le monde. Dans ma famille d’accueil, j’accompagne le petit garçon de la maison à l’arrêt de bus, et je prends cette mission très au sérieux. Je vis avec une Beagle de 2 ans qui s’appelle Gaby. Je l’adore, et heureusement, elle est très patiente. Si je rejoins une famille avec un autre chien, il faudra qu’il soit bien dans ses pattes. Je suis plutôt indépendante. J’aime les câlins, mais je fais volontiers mes siestes dans mon coin, j’aime observer depuis le balcon et je sais déjà m’occuper seule. J’ai aussi une passion : l’eau. Je transformerai probablement ma gamelle en piscine municipale. J’adore éclabousser partout et essayer de participer aux douches des humains. À la maison, je suis sereine. Les bruits du quotidien, les mouvements autour de moi… rien ne semble vraiment me perturber. Je dors profondément même lorsqu’il se passe plein de choses autour de moi. Je commence à apprendre les premières règles de la vie. Je connais mon prénom, j’attends devant ma gamelle et je commence à comprendre certaines routines. Mais je reste un bébé. La propreté n’est pas acquise. La marche en laisse est un apprentissage. Tout reste à construire. Je vais traverser des périodes compliquées. Je vais probablement faire quelques bêtises, mâchouiller des objets qui ne m’étaient pas destinés, oublier parfois les règles qu’on m’a apprises la veille. C’est normal. Je suis une petite chienne pleine de potentiel et de bonne humeur. Je cherche une famille prête à m’accompagner avec patience et à accepter que grandir prend du temps. On dit que certains chiens laissent plus qu’une trace de pattes dans une maison… Ils la transforment, juste par leur façon d’être là. Alors remplis vite un formulaire pour moi :

About UMA &#8211

What life with UMA &#8211 looks like

UMA &#8211 is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Ron'Rhône in Lyon.

An 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 UMA &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about UMA &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Ron'Rhône handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw UMA &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt UMA &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Ron'Rhône 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 UMA &#8211 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 UMA &#8211 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 Association Ron'Rhône early rather than rehoming privately; they know UMA &#8211 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.
