How do I contact the shelter about BULLET?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Sauvade handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BULLET on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BULLET if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Sauvade 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 BULLET 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 BULLET 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 Association Sauvade early rather than rehoming privately; they know BULLET 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.

BULLET

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

BULLET, a 5-year-old dog, is a very touching character. Laurène found him on August 13th in the chemin des boulets, a high site of abandonment in La Plaine St Paul, hence his name. He was found in a gutter on the side of the road and remained there. He wore a large collar around his neck and was extremely thin (see the last photos). An announcement was made, but no one has ever claimed him. Bullet became Sauvadien and is in foster care with Christiane, who has taken good care of him. She describes him as follows: "He is a dog that moves me a lot, one has the impression that he expects a lot from us, his eyes are full of questions and recognition. The wonderful BULLET is a dog who overflows with love for his human. In fact, he loves everyone, children as well as his dog friends. He is very wise in the car, he follows well on a leash, the only thing that terrifies him is the water hose. He is a dog who will need a little authority to be channeled, he is so in search of love and sharing with humans that he can sometimes be a bit rough now that he has regained some strength. But tenderness always prevails..."

Voici le gentil BULLET, un chien d’environ 5 ans qui est vraiment très touchant. C’est Laurène qui l’a trouvé le 13 août dernier en sortant du chemin des boulets, un haut site d’abandon de La Plaine St Paul, d’où son nom. Il se trouvait dans un caniveau au bord de la route et restait là. Il portait un gros collier autour du cou et était extrêmement maigre ( voir les dernières photos). Une annonce a été faite mais il m’a jamais été réclamé. Bullet est devenu Sauvadien et se trouve en famille d’accueil chez Christiane qui a bien pris soin de lui et nous le décrit comme suit : « C’est un chien qui m’émeut beaucoup, on a l’impression qu’il attend beaucoup de nous, il a les yeux remplis de questions et de reconnaissance. Le merveilleux BULLET est donc un chien qui déborde d’amour pour son humain. En fait, il aime tout le monde, les enfants également ainsi que ses copains chiens. Il est très sage en voiture, il suit bien en laisse, la seule chose qui le terrorise c’est le tuyau d’arrosage. C’est un loulou qui aura besoin d’un peu d’autorité pour être canalisé, il est tellement en quête d’amour et de partage avec l’humain qu’il peut des fois se montrer un peu brusque maintenant qu’il a repris du poil de la bête. Mais la tendresse l'emporte toujours…” {"galleryType":"pgc_sgb_masonry","galleryId":"d8533549","images":[{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-3-768x1024. jpeg","id":17564,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-2-768x1024. jpeg","id":17565,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-15-768x1024. jpeg","id":17568,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-2-1-768x1024. jpeg","id":20379,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-14-789x1024. jpeg","id":17569,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-1-1-768x1024. jpeg","id":20380,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-4-1-768x1024. jpeg","id":20381,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-3-1-768x1024. jpeg","id":20382,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-7-768x1024. jpeg","id":17576,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-12-768x1024. jpeg","id":17571,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-13-768x1024. jpeg","id":17570,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-11-768x1024. jpeg","id":17572,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-9-768x1024. jpeg","id":17574,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-8-1024x768. jpeg","id":17575,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-6-1024x1024. jpeg","id":17577,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-5-768x1024. jpeg","id":17578,"alt":""},{"url":" fr/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BULLET-4-768x1024. jpeg","id":17579,"alt":""}],"itemsMetaDataCollection":[]} (function(){if(window.

About BULLET

What life with BULLET looks like

BULLET is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Sauvade in France.

An 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.
