Ces 13 chiens font partie d'un sauvetage exceptionnel, ils étaient en tous 76 ! À vivre dans des conditions de grande détresse, à la suite de l'hospitalisation de leur propriétaire, atteint des syndromes de Diogène et de Noé. Tous ont besoin de réapprendre à faire confiance à l'être humain. Certains ont déjà fait de très beaux progrès, tandis que d'autres avancent à leur rythme et auront encore besoin de temps, de patience et de bienveillance. Nous serons particulièrement attentifs au choix de leurs futures familles. Derrière leur petite taille et leur bouille attendrissante se cachent des chiens qui auront besoin d'un véritable investissement. Ils ne connaissent pas la vie de famille, n'ont jamais appris les bases du quotidien et devront découvrir. Adopter l'un d'eux, vous aurez la chance d'assister à une transformation extraordinaire : celle d'un chien qui, petit à petit, découvre enfin ce qu'est une vie heureuse, entouré d'amour et de respect.

About VITA

What life with VITA looks like

VITA is a small young adult dog waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires quiet, secure environment and patient adopter

🇫🇷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 VITA, answered.

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