Bilou et Bobette

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Bilou et Bobette are at the SPA de Piegon (26), less than 10km from Vaison la Romaine (84). BILOU, born on April 1st, 2014. BOBETTE, born on March 1st, 2019. We are making a post for these two dogs together, not because we are lazy, but because Bilou et Bobette have a common story... And it's not the most romantic story in the world, but it's Their Story. A double adoption may not be sought after because BOBETTE tends to feel a little overwhelmed by BILOU who takes up all the space. But at the same time, he is also the one who comforts her. Bilou et Bobette lived together in an extremely small space, with other dogs, cats and their owner. The intervention of public authorities in this Gard commune allowed the animals to be rescued. The SPA de Piegon then took in several dogs including Bilou et Bobette. Other associations and shelters were also called upon. If you come to meet Bilou et Bobette at the shelter, they will not necessarily be the most approachable. BILOU, in particular, has kept a very protective side and does not invite dialogue. BOBETTE, withdrawn, imitates him but without much conviction. However, if you have the chance to meet them in the presence of the SPA de Piegon's Manager, you will see a completely different side of Bilou et Bobette. A playful side, a side that approaches and comes into contact, but it must be done gently. You can feel that these two dogs have placed all their trust in his hands. But the work has been hard, and it still is. But it is also seeing that these two dogs could be otherwise. But even after all these years, there is still so much fear, so much trauma, that they are certainly not going to be couch potatoes. But if you have time to give them, it could help each of them to settle down, and above all to learn to live peacefully again. Or perhaps to learn, since it has never been easy. It is in no way a question of judging their former owner, because it's easy when you don't live the story... But caught up in the turmoil, who are we? Who will we become? What would we become? BOBETTE is vaccinated, identified by microchip and spayed. BILOU is identified by microchip. He is not castrated. Whether they are adopted together or separately, you have understood that both BOBETTE and BILOU need an extremely calm environment and people with an extremely high level of patience.

BILOU et BOBETTE sont à la SPA de Piegon (26) à moins de 10km de Vaison la Romaine (84) BILOU, né le 01er avril 2014 BOBETTE, née le 01er mars 2019 On fait un post pour ces deux loulous ensemble, non pas parce que nous sommes des fainéants mais parce que BILOU et BOBETTE ont une histoire commune... Et ce n'est pas l'histoire la plus romantique du monde, mais c'est Leur Histoire Une adoption double ne sera pas forcément recherchée car BOBETTE a tendance à se laisser un peu étouffer par BILOU qui prend toute la place. Mais en même temps, il est aussi celui qui la rassure BILOU et BOBETTE vivaient ensemble dans un espace extrêmement restreint, avec d'autres chiens, des chats et leur maîtresse. L'intervention des forces publiques sur cette commune gardoise, a permis d'extraire les animaux. La SPA de Piegon a alors accueilli plusieurs chiens dont BILOU et BOBETTE. D'autres associations et refuges avaient alors également été réquisitionnés. BILOU et BOBETTE, si vous venez les rencontrer au refuge, ne vont pas être les plus avenants du monde. BILOU a, notamment, gardé ce côté très gardien et n'invite pas au dialogue BOBETTE, en retrait, par mimétisme, fait pareil mais sans grande conviction. Mais si vous avez la chance de les rencontrer en présence du Responsable de la SPA de Piegon, alors vous verrez un tout autre visage de BILOU et BOBETTE. Un côté joueur, un côté je m'approche je viens au contact mais il faut y aller doucement. On sent que ces deux loulous ont déposé toute leur confiance entre ses mains. Mais le travail a été dur, et il l'est toujours. Mais c'est aussi voir que ces deux loulous pourraient être autrement. Mais même après toutes ces années, il y a encore tellement de peur, de traumatismes qu'ils ne sont vraiment pas près d'être des copains de canapés. Mais si vous avez du temps à leur accorder, alors cela pourrait leur permettre à l'un, comme à l'autre, de se poser, et surtout de réapprendre à vivre sereinement. Ou d'apprendre sûrement car cela n'a jamais dû être facile . Il n'est aucunement question de juger leur ancienne maîtresse, car c'est facile quand on ne vit pas l'histoire... Mais pris dans les tourments, qui serions nous? Qui deviendrons-nous? En quoi nous transformerions nous? BOBETTE est vaccinée, identifiée par puce électronique et stérilisée BILOU est identifié par puce électronique. Il n'est pas castré Qu'ils soient adoptés ensemble ou séparément, vous aurez compris que tant BOBETTE que BILOU ont besoin d'un environnement ultra calme et de personnes avec un seuil de patience extrêmement élevé. Il ne faudra pas qu'il y ait d'enfants dans la famille Si vous avez déjà un compagnon à la maison il faudra plusieurs temps également, pour qu'ils se rencontrent, baladent ensemble et fassent connaissance Pour les reconnaître, c'est facile, BILOU est celui qui a la grosse moustache BOBETTE est un tout petit peu en dessous en terme de gabarit

About Bilou et Bobette

What life with Bilou et Bobette looks like

Bilou et Bobette is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇫🇷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 Bilou et Bobette, answered.

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