AURORE

Border Collie · Female · Young · 2 years

AURORE is an adorable little one who arrived following an investigation of animal cruelty. She knows nothing of the outside world and is very fearful and suspicious of her environment and humans. A companion dog will be essential to help her face all the newness of life in a home. She will need a house with an outdoor space, in the countryside. We will do our utmost to find the family that best matches her needs.

Aurore est une adorable louloute arrivée suite à une enquête pour maltraitance. Elle ne connaît rien du monde extérieur et se montre très craintive et méfiante vis à vis de son environnement et des humains. Un copain chien sera indispensable pour l’aider à affronter toute la nouveauté de la vie en maison. Il lui faudra une maison avec un extérieur, en campagne.

About AURORE

What life with AURORE looks like

AURORE is a young adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

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 AURORE, answered.

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