Xena

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

Attention eyes! Petite pearl on the horizon. We present to you a lovely dog full of qualities. Of small size, Xéna may not impress with her physique but she will touch you with her kind character. During walks, we have observed that Xéna is okay with males. She loves to trot close and snuggle with a friend. If you already have a dog, a meeting will need to be arranged at the shelter. The use of a muzzle is required. Xéna is both joy of living, an endearing look and a heart that puts a lot of trust in humans. Don't disappoint her by forgetting her at the shelter.

Attention les yeux ! Petite perle à l’horizon. Nous vous présentons une louloute pleine de qualités. De petit gabarit, Xéna n’en impose pas par son physique mais vous marque grâce à son gentil caractère. Lors de promenades, nous avons pu observer que Xéna est OK avec les mâles. Elle adore trottiner coller serrer avec un pote. Si vous possédez déjà un(e) loulou(te), une rencontre sera à finaliser au refuge. Le port de la muselière est acquis. Xéna c’est à la fois la joie de vivre, un regard attendrissant et un cœur qui mise beaucoup sur l’humain. Ne la décevez pas en l’oubliant au refuge.

About Xena

What life with Xena looks like

Xena is a adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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 Xena, answered.

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