Adopt Alaska

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 7 years

Alaska, a 7-year-old Border Collie mix, is proof that there's no age for happiness! Arrived very thin at the shelter, this handsome dog radiates joy and only wants one thing: love and cuddles. • With people, he is adorable, gentle, and affectionate. • With his dog friends, he is in love: he adores them! • Cats? Not sure yet. Alaska has a divergent strabismus that gives him a unique charm and a probable hearing deficit (but not total deafness). Nothing prevents him from enjoying life to the fullest✨ And then, he has a little secret... he is very, very, very fond of food. This cheerful companion deserves a kind and loving family to continue his beautiful adventure surrounded by love. I am waiting for you at the shelter for a tender meeting. Together, we could form a great team! Breed: Border Collie mix Birth date: 08/08/2015 (estimated) Sex: Male Neutered: Yes Identified: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Shelter Anim’toit

Alaska, croisé Border Collie de 7 ans, est la preuve qu’il n’y a pas d’âge pour être heureux ! Arrivé très amaigri au refuge, ce beau loulou respire pourtant la joie de vivre et ne demande qu’une chose : de l’amour et des câlins. • Avec les humains, il est adorable, tendre et attachant. • Avec ses copains chiens, c’est l’amour fou : il les adore ! • Les chats ? On ne sait pas encore. Alaska a un strabisme divergent qui lui donne un charme unique et un déficit auditif probable (mais sans surdité totale). Rien qui ne l’empêche de profiter de la vie à fond✨ Et puis, il a un petit secret… il est très, très, très gourmand. Ce joyeux compagnon mérite une famille douce et aimante pour continuer sa belle aventure entouré d’amour. Je vous attends au refuge pour une rencontre pleine de tendresse. Ensemble, on pourrait former une belle équipe ! Race : croisé Border Collie Date de naissance : 08/08/2015 (estimé) Sexe : Mâle Stérilisé : Oui Identifié : Oui Vacciné : Oui Refuge Anim’toit

About Alaska

What life with Alaska looks like

Alaska is a adult border collie dog waiting at Anim'toit in Prinquiau.

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 Alaska, answered.

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