Batavia

Female · Puppy · 4 months

I recently arrived at the shelter, in an abandoned crate in front of the shelter's doors... Still a baby, I am in foster care, under supervision, for my first few weeks. The arrival of a puppy is a wonderful adventure filled with joy, discovery, and complicity. But it is above all a thoughtful decision. By adopting me, you are committing for the next 10 to 15 years, sometimes more, to meet all my needs: veterinary care, adapted nutrition, daily expenses, walks, education, presence, and attention.

Je suis arrivée récemment au refuge, dans un carton abandonné devant les portes du refuge… Encore bébé, je suis en famille d’accueil, sous surveillance, pour mes premières semaines. L’arrivée d’un chiot est une formidable aventure remplie de joie, de découvertes et de complicité. Mais c’est avant tout une décision réfléchie. En m’adoptant, vous vous engagez pour les 10 à 15 prochaines années, parfois davantage, à répondre à tous mes besoins : soins vétérinaires, alimentation adaptée, dépenses du quotidien, promenades, éducation, présence et attention.

About Batavia

What life with Batavia looks like

Batavia is a puppy dog waiting at Association Quatre Pattes, Un Toit in Saint-Sauveur.

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 Batavia, answered.

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