Arthémis

Border Collie · Female · Puppy · 4 months

My name is Arthémis, and I’ve been rehomed along with my puppies due to poor living conditions (an unsanitary apartment). I’m medium-sized. At first glance, I tend to be rather wary, but actually, I have a changeable temperament—probably because of my past; I certainly haven’t had an easy time. Depending on the situation, I’ll need reassurance, and sometimes it’ll be best to avoid certain triggers to prevent exacerbating my anxiety. Nevertheless, despite all that, I’m not aggressive. My adoption fee is €325, which covers veterinary expenses—including microchip identification, the initial vaccination, spaying/neutering, and deworming. A commitment and knowledge certificate must be signed at least 7 days before adoption. You can sign this document at the shelter so you can reserve an animal. To meet me, please contact me by phone to arrange my visit to the shelter, as I’m still in foster care.

Moi c'est Arthémis, retirée avec mes chiots pour mauvaise détention (appartement insalubre). Je suis de taille moyenne. Plutôt méfiante au premier abord, je suis en fait d'humeur changeante, sûrement à cause de mon passé, je n'ai pas dû vivre des choses sympas. Suivant les situations j'aurai besoin d'être rassurée et parfois il faudra éviter afin d'éviter de renforcer mon anxiété. Cependant malgré tout ça, je ne suis pas agressive. Son adoption s'élève à 325€, cela comprend les frais vétérinaires (identification par puce électronique, la primo-vaccination, la stérilisation, le déparasitage). Un certificat d'engagement et de connaissance doit être signé au moins 7 jours avant adoption. Vous pourrez le signer au refuge afin de pouvoir réserver un animal. Pour me rencontrer, merci de prendre contact par téléphone au afin d'organiser ma venue au refuge car je suis encore en famille d'accueil.

About Arthémis

What life with Arthémis looks like

Arthémis is a medium-sized puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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 Arthémis, answered.

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