Bertrand – en Famille d'Accueil

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 7 months

Hello, my name is Bertrand, or Bret for those close to me. I am a young German Shepherd about 7 months old. I am still a big baby with a huge heart. I need a lot of chewing, long walks, and endless cuddles. I have already learned a lot: I walk calmly on a leash outside, I follow my owner when I am free, I have recall, I get along well with all the dogs I meet, and I am not interested in runners or bicycles. At home, I love my friend the cat, I am clean (I need to be watched because I don't know how to ask for the door to be opened), I am good and don't destroy, but I haven't had the opportunity to learn to stay alone. I would like a very present owner and I would love the company of another dog. Due to my breed, a contract with a trainer will be required for my adoption. Attention! Meeting me means you will definitely fall for me! I am as cute as caramel with a melting heart. Is my profile interesting to you and do you want to meet me? Contact the LPA-NF in Lille at 03-20-52-52-16 or the address that will put you in touch with my foster family.

Bonjour, moi c'est Bertrand, ou Bret pour les intimes. Je suis un jeune berger allemand de 7 mois environ. Je suis encore un gros bébé avec un cœur immense. J'ai besoin de beaucoup de mastication, de grandes balades et de câlins à l'infini. J'ai déjà appris beaucoup de choses : A l'extérieur je marche sagement en laisse, je suis mon maître quand je suis en liberté, j'ai du rappel, je m'entends bien avec tous les chiens que je croise et je ne m'intéresse pas au coureurs ni aux vélos. À la maison j'adore mon copain le chat, je suis propre (il faut faire attention à moi car je ne sais pas encore demander qu'on ouvre la porte), je suis sage et ne détruis pas mais je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion d'apprendre à rester tout seul. J'aimerais bien un maitre très présent et j'adorerais la compagnie d'un autre chien. Du fait de ma race, un contrat avec un éducateur sera demandé pour mon adoption. Attention ! Me rencontrer c'est craquer pour moi à coup sûr! Je suis craquant comme un caramel avec un cœur tout fondant. Mon profil vous intéresse et vous souhaitez me rencontrer ? Contactez la LPA-NF de Lille au 03-20-52-52-16 ou à l’adresse qui vous mettra en relation avec ma famille d'accueil.

About Bertrand – en Famille d'Accueil

What life with Bertrand – en Famille d'Accueil looks like

Bertrand – en Famille d'Accueil is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at LPA Nord de la France in Lille.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bertrand – en Famille d'Accueil, answered.

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