How do I contact the shelter about Apache?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apache on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Apache if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres 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 Apache 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 Apache 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 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apache 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.

Apache

Australian Shepherd · Female

In terms of personality, she is a friendly and joyful little one, affectionate, who loves being petted and takes care of. She is rather calm and very balanced (since she comes from a line of assistance dogs). She will need people who are available, attentive, aware, and ready to invest in helping her daily, supporting her with her disability, and being mindful of her well-being. She enjoys the company of other dogs and loves playing with them. Cats are also fine. The first step is to fill out the questionnaire :) For each adoption, we request: a copy of your ID and a copy of your utility bill. All our dogs are: microchipped, vaccinated (including rabies), dewormed, and deparasited. They have their European passport and a detailed health report from the veterinarian. Adult dogs are also sterilized and neutered. Adoption fees are based on the costs incurred for each dog. To submit an adoption request, please complete the available form and return it by email to this address:

About Apache

What life with Apache looks like

Apache is a adult australian shepherd dog waiting at 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres in France.

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.
