Adopt Blue

Golden Retriever · Female · Young · 1 year

Blue was entrusted to us due to significant health issues with her owner. Blue can be a bit wary of certain people when she doesn't know them but remains a sweet, affectionate, and food-loving little ferret with good basic training. She has some malinois in her, she could be stubborn and might nip when stressed, but nothing that can't be overcome with work and patience.

RÉSERVÉE Blue nous a été confiée suite à des gros problèmes de santé de sa propriétaire. Blue peut se montrer craintive avec certaines personnes quand elle ne connaît pas mais reste une petite belette affectueuse, gourmande et avec de bonnes bases d’éducation. La demoiselle a du malinois en elle, elle serait têtue et aurait tendance à pouvoir pincer quand elle est stressée mais rien d’insurmontable avec du travail et de la patience.

About Blue

What life with Blue looks like

Blue is a young adult golden retriever dog waiting at Refuge des Bérauds (Romans-sur-Isère) in Romans-sur-Isère.

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 Blue, answered.

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