Xéna

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

I am Xéna, a beautiful Blue American Staffordshire Terrier. I was born on 03/02/2018. I am a level 1 dog, so I must go out on a leash and my adopter must be in compliance to have me (the shelter will tell you more about this). I was abandoned because my previous family had to move to an apartment and could not take me with them. Lover of cats, pass by, I do not like them at all. On the other hand, I love children. Regarding other animals of the same species, I live with a male and have never been in contact with a female, so this will need to be tested. I have my own little character, I can be stubborn, a real little staff! But I am also affectionate, energetic and cute. Come meet me to form your own opinion.

Je suis Xéna, une jolie American Staffordshire Terrier bleue. Je suis née le 03/02/2018. Je suis une chienne de catégorie 1, je dois donc sortir muselée et mon adoptant devra être en règle pour m’avoir (le refuge vous en dira plus là dessus). J’ai été abandonnée car mon ancienne famille a dû déménager en appartement et ne pouvait pas m’emmener. Amoureux des chats, passez votre chemin, moi je ne les aime pas du tout. En revanche j’adore les enfants. Côté congénères, je vis avec un mâle et n’est jamais été en contact avec une femelle, ce sera donc à tester. J’ai mon petit caractère je peux me montrer têtue, une vraie petite staff ! Mais je suis aussi attachante, énergique et mignonne. Venez me rencontrer pour vous faire votre propre avis.

About Xéna

What life with Xéna looks like

Xéna is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Salon-de-Provence in Salon-de-Provence.

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 Xéna, answered.

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