BAXTER

Border Collie · Male · Young · 1 year

Pour séduire le très beau BAXTER il faudra un peu de patience car il n’accorde pas sa confiance facilement. Une fois que ce sera acquis, il dévoilera sa personnalité. Ce jeune chien dynamique a besoin de se dépenser donc terrain à disposition et promenades régulières seront nécessaires. Un peu brusque, ce gabarit de 25 kg environ pourrait bousculer des enfants en bas âge. Son éducation sera à parfaire et des cours seraient souhaitables pour canaliser cette belle énergie. De la douceur et du doigté seront indispensables car BAXTER a un peu de mal avec la contrainte. Compte tenu de son jeune âge, tout est possible et il devrait s’épanouir parfaitement dans une famille aimante.

About BAXTER

What life with BAXTER looks like

BAXTER is a young adult border collie dog waiting at Le Refuge 61 in France.

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 BAXTER, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BAXTER?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Le Refuge 61 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BAXTER on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BAXTER if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Le Refuge 61 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 BAXTER 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 BAXTER 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 Le Refuge 61 early rather than rehoming privately; they know BAXTER 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.
