BULLET

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Here is the gentle BULLET, a dog about 5 years old who is truly very touching. Laurène found him on August 13 last year while leaving the chemin des boulets, a high abandonment site in La Plaine St Paul, which is where his name comes from. He was in a gutter at the side of the road and was staying there. He was wearing a large collar around his neck and was extremely thin (see the latest photos). An announcement was made, but no one ever claimed him. Bullet became Sauvadien and is in a foster home with Christiane, who has taken very good care of him and describes him as follows: "He's a dog who moves me greatly. You get the impression he expects a lot from us; his eyes are full of questions and gratitude. The wonderful BULLET is a dog who overflows with love for his human. In fact, he loves everyone, children included, as well as his canine buddies. He is very well behaved in the car, he walks nicely on a leash, and the only thing that terrifies him is the garden hose. He's a little rascal who will need some firm guidance to be channeled. He is so in search of love and companionship with humans that he can sometimes be a bit rough now that he has regained his strength. But tenderness always wins out..."

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…” (function(){if(window. PGC_SGB && window. PGC_SGB. searcher){window. PGC_SGB. searcher. initBlocks()}})()

About BULLET

What life with BULLET looks like

BULLET is an 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting BULLET, answered.

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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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.
