ALISHA

Mixed Breed · Female

Alisha came to us from a shelter; we don’t know anything about her past. The beginning was tough: completely frightened, she would hide at the back of her kennel and didn’t dare to come closer. With lots of patience and respect, Alisha gradually started to gain confidence, began to enjoy cuddles and human company. She’s made wonderful progress, but she still has a long way to go—she seems to carry lingering traces of a difficult start to life. Outdoors, she reacts to everything (cars, bicycles, other dogs...). Very affectionate and playful, Alisha will need some time to feel comfortable. Once she’s confident, however, she can be quite rough in her interactions. Alisha will need a present family that understands canine behavior and is committed to her training, helping her navigate social interactions. It’s highly recommended that she receive ongoing guidance from a dog trainer. She’ll do well living with older teenagers and should be placed in a calm environment.

Alisha est arrivée de fourrière, nous ne connaissons pas son passé. Les débuts ont été difficiles : complètement apeurée, elle se cachait au fond du box et n'osait pas s'approcher. Avec beaucoup de patience et respect, Alisha a commencé à prendre confiance, à apprécier les câlins et la compagnie des humains. Elle a fait de beaux progrès, mais il lui reste un long chemin à parcourir : elle semble garder des marques d'un début de vie difficile. En extérieur elle réagit à tout (voitures, vélos, congénères...). Très câline et rigolote, Alisha aura besoin d'un peu de temps pour se sentir à l'aise. Une fois en confiance, elle se montre très brute dans ses interactions. Alisha aura besoin d'une famille présente, connaisseuse des codes canins et investie dans son éducation pour l'accompagner dans ses interactions. Un suivi auprès d'un éducateur canin est très recommandé. Elle pourra vivre avec des grands adolescents et devra vivre dans un environnement calme.

About ALISHA

What life with ALISHA looks like

ALISHA is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Hermeray in Hermeray.

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 ALISHA, answered.

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