VIBES

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Vibes is a dog that came to us by court order following an investigation. He had been left alone in an apartment by his former owner. He arrived at our shelter very thin and has regained his strength and a healthy weight. He probably didn't have the opportunity to go on nice walks because he pulls a lot on the leash due to his excessive desire to explore the surrounding nature. He will need plenty of physical and mental exercise for his well-being and to learn to trust again. His compatibility with dogs and cats needs to be checked at the shelter. Come meet this little boy rescued from abuse.

Vibes est un chien qui nous est arrivé sur réquisition judiciaire à la suite d'une enquête. Il avait été laissé à l'abandon seul dans un appartement par son ancien détenteur. Il est arrivé chez nous très maigre et a retrouvé de la force et un joli poids de forme. Il n'avait sûrement pas l'occasion de faire de belles balades car il tire beaucoup en promenade par envie démesurée de découvrir la nature alentours. Il aura besoin de belles dépenses physiques et mentales pour son bien-être et d'apprendre à nouveau à faire confiance. Ses ententes chiens et chats sont à vérifier au refuge. Venez rencontrer ce loulou sauvé de maltraitance.

About VIBES

What life with VIBES looks like

VIBES is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Vallerargues) in Ales.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting VIBES, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about VIBES?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vallerargues) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw VIBES on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt VIBES if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vallerargues) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is VIBES 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 VIBES 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 Vallerargues) early rather than rehoming privately; they know VIBES 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.
