Billy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Billy is a young Creole mixed breed dog who recently arrived at the shelter after being transferred from Martinique. He is now starting a new chapter in his life and hopes to quickly find a family ready to join him. Still young, he needs ongoing training: he will need to learn and discover the basics of family life. With patience, kindness, and consistency, Billy can progress and flourish fully. He is a curious, kind, and sociable dog who loves exploring his surroundings. He is food-motivated and energetic, enjoying walks, activities, and sharing time with his future family. Billy can live with other dogs and also with respectful children. However, we do not yet know how he will get along with cats.

Billy est un jeune chien croisé créole arrivé récemment au refuge suite à un transfert depuis la Martinique. Il commence maintenant une nouvelle étape de sa vie et espère trouver rapidement une famille prête à l’accompagner. Encore jeune, son éducation est à poursuivre : il aura besoin d’apprendre et de découvrir les bases de la vie de famille. Avec de la patience, de la douceur et de la régularité, Billy pourra progresser et s’épanouir pleinement. C’est un chien curieux, gentil et sociable, qui aime explorer ce qui l’entoure. Gourmand et dynamique, il appréciera les balades, les activités et les moments de partage avec sa future famille. Billy pourra vivre avec d’autres chiens et également avec des enfants respectueux. En revanche, nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les chats.

About Billy

What life with Billy looks like

Billy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Amiens) in Poulainville.

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 Billy, answered.

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