BRIOCHETTE

Border Collie · Female · Young · 1 year

Briochette comes from a seizure following an investigation into abuse. Having known nothing of family life, she will have everything to learn, including cleanliness and walking on a leash. Unfortunately, our beautiful girl is deaf and blind. Her future family will therefore need to be prepared to manage this double handicap, possibly with the help of an educator. Briochette is close to humans and is dynamic! She is also sociable with her peers. The ideal home for her would be a house in the countryside with a garden, without young children. Daily walks will be necessary for her balance. A double adoption with her sister Chouqette would be a plus.

Briochette provient d'une saisie après une enquête de maltraitance. N'ayant rien connu de la vie en famille, elle aura tout à apprendre, notamment la propreté et la marche en longe/laisse. Notre jolie louloute est malheureusement sourde et aveugle. Sa future famille devra donc être prête à gérer ce double handicap en étant suivie par une éducatrice, si possible. Briochette est proche de l'humain et est dynamique ! Elle est également sociable avec ses congénères. Le foyer idéal pour elle serait une maison en campagne avec jardin, sans jeunes enfants. Des balades quotidiennes seront nécessaires pour son équilibre. Une adoption double avec sa sœur Chouqette serait un plus.

About BRIOCHETTE

What life with BRIOCHETTE looks like

BRIOCHETTE is a young adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

A 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting BRIOCHETTE, answered.

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