Athéna

Rottweiler · Female · Young · 1 year

Athéna est une jeune femelle d’apparence Rottweiler d’un an, arrivée chez nous à la suite d’une séparation, sa propriétaire rencontrant des difficultés à gérer son éducation. Athéna est une chienne pleine de vie, très dynamique et joueuse ! Faute d’avoir bénéficié d’un cadre et d’une éducation adaptés, elle a encore du mal à canaliser son énergie et son enthousiasme, ce qui peut se traduire par des pincements et des mordillements. Pourtant, Athéna est une chienne réceptive qui comprend vite ce qu’on lui demande. Avec de la patience, de la cohérence et une éducation bienveillante, elle a toutes les chances de devenir une superbe chienne ! Encore jeune, elle aura besoin d’une famille investie, prête à lui consacrer du temps et à lui proposer des activités physiques et intellectuelles quotidiennes pour l’aider à s’épanouir. Très affectueuse, elle adore également la proximité avec son humain et partager des moments de complicité. Athéna n’ayant pas bénéficié d’une socialisation suffisante, elle se montre actuellement sur la défensive face aux autres chiens et peut réagir fortement en balade. Il faut donc être en mesure de la tenir et de la gérer physiquement. Un travail progressif, accompagné de patience et de bonnes expériences, pourra l’aider à évoluer et à mieux appréhender ses congénères. Elle ne s’entend pas avec les chats et pourra vivre avec de grands enfants, capables de respecter ses besoins et ses limites. Nous recherchons pour Athéna une famille sérieuse, dynamique et prête à s’investir dans son éducation. Elle a encore beaucoup à apprendre, mais derrière son énergie débordante se cache une chienne affectueuse qui ne demande qu’à progresser et à créer une belle relation avec son futur humain !

About Athéna

What life with Athéna looks like

Athéna is a young adult rottweiler dog waiting at SPA Colmar in France.

A 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Athéna, answered.

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