Arriety

Border Collie · Female · Young · 1 year

These two adorable pups have arrived together and are discovering everything. They don't even know how to walk on a leash, which makes every outing full of emotions! Mr. tends to spin around a lot. Mrs., on the other hand, expresses her joy (or stress!) with big jumps that can reach nearly 2 meters. Despite this, they remain manageable and incredibly endearing. When they see other dogs, they bark and may be a bit reactive. This is likely due to their lack of references and the fact that they protect each other. With time, patience, and supportive guidance, they have everything to learn. They will need an entirely fenced garden. It will take a lot of patience and kindness; being ready to invest yourself. Yes, there IS WORK... but also a beautiful relationship to build. They arrived together, but separate adoption may be considered if it's in their best interest and that of their future family. If you want to help and welcome two dogs starting from scratch and show them that life can be beautiful, don't hesitate to make an appointment.

✨ Les MIGNONS sont arrivés… et ils portent bien leur surnom ! ✨ Ces deux adorables loulous sont arrivés ensemble et découvrent absolument tout. Ils ne connaissent même pas la balade en laisse, ce qui rend chaque sortie riche en émotions ! 🐶 Monsieur a tendance à beaucoup tournicoter. 🐶 Madame, elle, exprime sa joie (ou son stress !) par de grands bonds qui peuvent atteindre près de 2 mètres. Malgré cela, ils restent gérables et surtout incroyablement attachants. ❤️ À la vue d’autres chiens, ils aboient et peuvent se montrer un peu réactifs. Il est fort probable que cela soit lié à leur manque de repères et au fait qu’ils se protègent mutuellement. Avec du temps, de la patience et un accompagnement bienveillant, ils ont tout à apprendre. 🏡 Ils auront besoin d’un jardin entièrement clôturé. 💛 Il faudra être très patients et doux ; être prêt à s’investir. Oui, il y A DU TRAVAIL… mais aussi une magnifique relation à construire. Ils sont arrivés ensemble, mais une adoption séparée pourra être envisagée si cela correspond à leur intérêt et à celui de leur future famille. Si vous avez envie d’aider et d’accueillir deux chiens qui partent de zéro et de leur montrer que la vie peut être belle, n’hésitez pas à prendre rendez-vous. 🐾

About Arriety

What life with Arriety looks like

Arriety is a young adult border collie dog waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

An young 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 Arriety, answered.

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