Benji

Labrador Retriever · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Benji est un jeune chien très gentil, proche de l’humain et qui adore les câlins. Il aime chahuter avec nous si c’est en douceur et sait aussi facilement se poser pour partager un moment paisible. Il est plutôt calme pour son âge et commence à apprendre le « assis ». Il se montre réceptif aux friandises, ce qui facilite son apprentissage. Benji est un jeune chien équilibré et facile à vivre en général. Il est aussi assez pataud : il ne fait pas toujours attention où il met les pattes et peut facilement trébucher. Cette petite maladresse lui donne un côté mignon et particulièrement attachant ! Avec les autres chiens il est très sociable et adore jouer avec eux. Il apprécie également beaucoup d’aller dans la piscine. Benji peut toutefois se montrer très soumis dans certaines situations : lorsqu’on l’attrape, il peut rapidement pleurer et s’aplatir. Nous avons commencé à travailler les manipulations par le jeu afin de l’aider à prendre confiance et à vivre ces moments plus sereinement. Benji peut également faire de la protection de ressources avec sa gamelle envers ses congénères, ce point reste à travailler. Adorable chien et plein de qualités, Benji attend sa nouvelle famille.

About Benji

What life with Benji looks like

Benji is a puppy labrador retriever 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 Benji, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benji?: 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 Benji on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Benji 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 Benji 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 Benji 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 Benji 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.
