VERDI – SOS

Mixed Breed · Male

Verdi is an adorable dog found wandering with his companion Mozart in a state that suggested little care. He has a large mass under his belly that was quickly removed. Since arriving at the shelter, Verdi has received good care, including baths, long hours of sleep, and nutritious meals. With 2.5kg lost, he is now refreshed and ready to experience a beautiful life in a warm, calm home filled with love and affection. He is extremely friendly and enjoys visits from people who can pet him; human presence reassures him. Verdi loves going on walks and is very food-motivated - if he smells a treat, he will do anything to find it! Despite his age, he remains energetic. While he seems to get along with other dogs, we don't know about cats (testing possible). He appears not to know much about family life, so this will be a new experience for him that requires time to adjust. With patience and love, he should adapt quickly! I would prefer to live in a house with a garden, in a quiet area (preferably countryside over city). Looking forward to meeting you soon and experiencing the real life of a family dog!

Je m’appelle Verdi, adorable toutou trouvé errant avec mon compagnon d’infortune Mozart dans un état laissant présagé peu de soins, avec en plus avec une grosse masse sous le ventre qui m’a été retirée rapidement. Depuis mon arrivée au refuge, grâce aux bons soins prodigués, de bons bains, de longues heures de dodo, de bonnes gamelles et 2.5kg de masse en moins, je suis requinqué et prêt à connaître enfin une belle vie dans un foyer chaleureux, calme, plein d’amour et de tendresse. Je suis extrèmement gentil et apprécie beaucoup que l’on vienne me rendre visite pour me papouiller, la présence humaine me rassure. J’adore partir en balade et je suis très gourmand, si je sens une friandise je ferais tout pour la trouver 🙂 Malgré mon âge je suis encore dynamique ! Je semble m’entendre avec mes congénères, on ne sait pas pour les chats (test possible). Je semble ne pas connaître grand chose de la vie de famille a priori, ce sera donc une découverte pour moi qui nécessitera de me laisser un peu de temps pour m’habituer. Mais avec de la présence et de l’amour je devrais vite m’y faire ! J’aurais besoin de vivre plutôt en maison avec jardin, et au calme (plutôt campagne que ville). A très bientôt, je vous attends avec impatience pour découvrir une vraie vie de chien de famille !

About VERDI – SOS

What life with VERDI – SOS looks like

VERDI – SOS is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Lagord / La Rochelle in Lagord.

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 VERDI – SOS, answered.

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