Adopt Yoshi

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Upon arrival from the pound in April 2023, Yoshi was a wary dog around humans, approaching only to play fetch. His body bore the marks of a difficult life. Now, Yoshi has learned to trust us, accepting physical contact and going for walks, though it is still stressful for him. Do not force contact and let him come at his own pace. Video Yoshi :

Lors de son arrivée de fourrière en avril 2023, Yoshi était un chien méfiant envers l'humain, il ne s'approchait que pour jouer à la balle. Son corps portait les stigmates d'une vie difficile. Désormais, Yoshi a appris à nous faire confiance, il accepte le contact et de sortir en balade, bien que cela soit encore stressant pour lui. Il ne faudra pas forcer le contact et le laisser venir à son rythme. Vidéo Yoshi :

About Yoshi

What life with Yoshi looks like

Yoshi is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Redon in Redon.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Yoshi, answered.

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