venus

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

A young female dog with an as yet unknown past, this little sweetheart is discovering the world with caution. Shy and sometimes fearful, she needs time to build trust. But once reassured, she reveals an extremely affectionate, gentle, and deeply endearing personality. A real clingy companion, she loves human company, which greatly comforts her, and constantly seeks physical contact. She’s also a lively dog who will enjoy walks and playtime—but she’ll need a calm and secure environment to fully thrive. She’s looking for a patient family willing to move at her own pace with kindness and tenderness. Positive reinforcement-based training will be essential to help her gain confidence.

Jeune chienne au passé encore inconnu, cette petite louloute découvre le monde avec prudence. Timide et parfois peureuse, elle a besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance. Mais une fois rassurée, elle révèle une personnalité extrêmement câline, douce et très attachante. Véritable pot de colle, elle adore la présence humaine qui la rassure énormément et recherche constamment le contact. C’est aussi une chienne dynamique, qui appréciera les balades et les moments de jeu, tout en ayant besoin d’un environnement calme et sécurisant pour s’épanouir pleinement. Elle recherche une famille patiente, prête à avancer à son rythme avec douceur et bienveillance. Une éducation basée sur le renforcement positif sera essentielle pour l’aider à prendre confiance.

About venus

What life with venus looks like

venus is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Vannes in Vannes.

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 venus, answered.

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