How do I contact the shelter about BASCO?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Border Line Collie handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BASCO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BASCO if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Border Line Collie 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 BASCO 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 BASCO 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 Border Line Collie early rather than rehoming privately; they know BASCO 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.

Adopt BASCO

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

BASCO (M) 21 months - adoption via BorderLineCollie Characteristics Date of birth: 12/05/2022 Gender: Male Registered with LOF/LOSH/ISDS: No Disabilities: No Child compatibility: From adolescence Dog compatibility: Usually goes well. Cat compatibility: No Other compatibility: No Personality Basco is a young male Border Collie who is happy and kind, and is calm at home and listens well. The big problem for the owners is that Basco is extremely uncomfortable with physical touch, whether it's brushing, dental examination, checking the paws to see if they are painful, etc. Basco gives signals indicating he does not want physical contact, but when someone continues to brush him, for example, he attacks. This has already happened several times during a "physical check". Basco is therefore not a fan of the veterinarian. The trust between the owner and Basco has completely disappeared and in order to avoid an escalation, BorderLineCollie was asked to find Basco a more suitable home. Background Basco arrived at his owners' home at the age of 10 weeks. After only a few months, it became apparent that he had many difficulties with physical checks and required contacts. An animal behaviorist was called for this issue and appropriate exercises (such as with a brush) were suggested. This allowed some improvement, but when a second dog arrived in the house, the training sessions were not continued and Basco started behaving in the same way again. Basco can be left alone at home for a few hours and he likes car trips. He really enjoys pull and thinking games. During walks, he focuses on traffic. Basco successfully completed the puppy class and a follow-up class at the dog school. He has not been tested with sheep.

BASCO (M) 21 mois – adoption via BorderLineCollie Caractéristiques Date de naissance: 12/05/2022 Sexe: Mâle Inscrit au LOF/LOSH/ISDS: Non Handicaps: Non Entente enfants: à partir de l'adolescence Entente chiens: se passera généralement bien. Entente chats: Non Entente autre: Non CaractèreBasco est un jeune mâle Border Collie heureux et gentil qui est calme dans la maison et écoute bien. Le gros problème pour les propriétaires est que Basco est extrêmement mal à l'aise avec le toucher physique, qu'il s'agisse du brossage, de l'examen des dents, de l'examen des pattes pour vérifier qu'elles ne sont pas douloureuses, etc. Basco donne des signaux indiquant qu'il ne veut pas de contact physique, mais lorsqu'on continue à le brosser, par exemple, il attaque. Cela s'est déjà produit plusieurs fois lors d'un "contrôle physique". Basco n'est donc pas un fan du vétérinaire. La confiance entre le propriétaire et Basco a complètement disparu et pour éviter une escalade, il a été demandé à BorderLineCollie de trouver à Basco un foyer plus approprié. HistoireBasco est arrivé chez ses propriétaires à l'âge de 10 semaines. Après seulement quelques mois, il est apparu qu'il avait beaucoup de difficultés avec les contrôles physiques et les contacts obligatoires. Un comportementaliste a été appelé pour ce problème et des exercices appropriés (par exemple avec une brosse) ont été suggérés. Cela a permis une certaine amélioration, mais lorsqu'un deuxième chien est arrivé dans la maison, les séances d'entraînement n'ont pas été poursuivies et Basco a recommencé à se comporter de la même manière. Basco peut rester seul à la maison pendant quelques heures et il aime les deplacement en voiture. Il aime beaucoup les jeux de traction et de réflexion. Pendant les promenades, il se fixe sur la circulation. Basco a suivi avec succès le cours pour chiots et un cours de suivi à l'école canine. Il n'a pas été testé avec des moutons. La personne qui a effectué la visite à domicile pour nous a décrit Basco comme un Border Collie heureux, joueur et bien entraînable. Il a maintenant (trop) de liberté pour faire ce qu'il veut. Lorsque "peut" devient "doit" pour Basco, il se sent et se comporte de manière inconfortable. Foyer recherchéPour Basco, BLC recherche des adoptants qui connaissent la race Border Collie et qui savent lire le langage des chiens. Il est important que Basco reçoive une structure et de la clarté. Il faut savoir que ce ne sera pas facile au début, car il a eu du succès toute sa vie avec son comportement de réagir avec des pincette lors de contacts physiques (forcés).

About BASCO

What life with BASCO looks like

BASCO is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Border Line Collie in borderlinecollie.

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.
