Aiguillette

Female · Adult · 6 years

Aiguillette is a sensitive dog that can be anxious. She needs to gain confidence in herself. Gentle handling with her is mandatory. She observes her environment a lot. For now, we will not place her with children and other animals due to her compatibility. She tends not to 'present herself well' and seeing men is difficult for her, which is why several visits are necessary. Aiguillette remains a very affectionate Louloute once she knows her human. Several visits will be necessary for her to be completely confident on the day she leaves for her new family. She is entering the SOS program.

Elle observe beaucoup l'environnement autour d'elle. Pour l'instant nous ne la placerons pas avec des enfants et autres animaux au vu de ses ententes. Elle a tendance a ne pas 'bien se présenter' et voir des hommes est difficile pour elle, c'est la raison pour laquelle plusieurs visites sont nécessaires. Aiguillette reste une Louloute très affectueuse une fois qu'elle connait son humain. Plusieurs visites seront nécessaires pour qu'elle soit en total confiance le jour de son départ en famille. Elle rentre dans le dispositif SOS.

About Aiguillette

What life with Aiguillette looks like

Aiguillette is a adult dog waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

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 Aiguillette, answered.

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