Bacchus

Border Collie · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Il adore chahuter avec nous et jouer avec les autres chiens. Lorsqu’on joue avec lui, il se met volontiers sur le dos pour faire la bagarre : il adore ça ! C’est un chien malicieux, qui comprend rapidement ce qu’on lui demande, mais qui possède aussi son petit caractère et peut se montrer têtu, il adore insister quand on lui dit “non”. Un vrai petit bandit ! Avec les autres chiens, il peut beaucoup aboyer, par peur ou pour provoquer le jeu. Si un chien le remet à sa place, il peut couiner, mais n’hésite pas ensuite à réaboyer pour avoir le dernier mot. Il a un début de « assis ». La marche en laisse est encore à travailler : il tire, possède déjà de la force et peut vite être frustré lorsqu’il ne peut pas aller voir les autres chiens. Il fait également de la protection de ressources avec sa gamelle en présence d’autres chiens, ceci reste à travailler. Bacchus est un râleur né, il aime s’exprimer avec tout le monde mais c’est ce qui le rend aussi attachant, il ne pense jamais à mal et voit la vie comme un jeu. Et malgré son petit caractère, Bacchus reste équilibré et adorable. Il aura simplement besoin d’un cadre clair, cohérent et bienveillant pour faire le bonheur de ses futurs adoptants.

About Bacchus

What life with Bacchus looks like

Bacchus is a puppy border collie dog waiting at Sans Collier Provence 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bacchus, answered.

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