Caprice

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Gender: Female Age: Estimated born in 2015 Size: Medium (approximately 25 kg) Date of arrival at the shelter: February 2017 Spayed: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: Yes Compatibility: OK with dogs, OK with horses, OK with children Temperament: Sociable Progress: February 20, 2024: Caprice is a very dominant dog. She is dangerous to people who enter her territory and whom she doesn't know. She doesn't hesitate to attack (she has bitten several times—especially men, but not only—and I lock her up if someone she doesn't know comes to the house). She can also be very aggressive toward dogs, particularly those smaller than herself or with disabilities (she has attacked my deaf dog and my small dogs several times—she reacts and starts a fight at the slightest provocation). She kills stray cats if they enter her territory. However, she has learned to respect poultry (she used to kill several hens but no longer does so). SHE IS LOVABLE WITH HER FAMILY (loves children) and people she sees regularly. Children are OK, male dogs of her size are OK, and the home must have a securely fenced yard (she climbs the gate to attack people who stop in front of my house). Someone with extensive experience handling dominant and reactive dogs is required. If adopting another dog, it must be a large male or kept alone, unless managed by a highly skilled person. She should never be left alone with small dogs. At my home, she lives in a pack (she knows who the leader is), but I advise against this lifestyle for any potential future adopter. No cats: she kills them. Last summer, she killed a stray cat that had entered her territory. But I don't have any "house" cats at my home—perhaps she would accept a family cat? She is house-trained and asks to go outside. She knows how to walk on a leash: Normally, once she's out of her territory, she's no longer dangerous, but I only take her out for vet visits, as I have a 5-hectare property. She can stay alone without any problems. She causes no damage. CAPRICE IS AFRAID OF NOTHING!!! She’s a go-getter who never hesitates. No walks off the property. She starts developing insect allergies in spring and summer. She weighs between 25 and 30 kg—she’s a very powerful dog. April 2021: Sociable and friendly, Caprice loves having her family’s attention focused on her. Protective, she’s an excellent guard dog and wary of strangers. She therefore needs to interact with people and continue the work her foster family has started in this regard. Caprice is affectionate, obedient, and intelligent. She quickly bonds with people she interacts with regularly. History: She was caught by dogcatchers.

Sexe : femelle Âge : née estimation 2015 Taille : moyenne (environ 25 kg) Date d'arrivée au refuge : Février 2017 Stérilisée : oui Vaccinée : oui Pucée : oui Ententes : ok chiens, ok chevaux, ok enfants Caractère : sociable Evolution : 20 février 2024 : Caprice est une chienne très dominante. Elle est dangereuse pour les personnes qui entrent sur son territoire et qu'elle ne connait pas. Elle n'hésite pas a attaquer (elle a mordu plusieurs fois - surtout des hommes, mais pas que - et je l'enferme si quelqu'un qu'elle ne connait pas vient à la maison). Elle peut aussi se montrer très agressive avec les chiens, en particulier s'ils sont plus petits qu'elle ou ont un handicap (elle s'est attaquée plusieurs fois à ma chienne sourde et à mes petits chiens - elle réagit et déclenche une bagarre à la moindre contrariété). Elle tue les chats errants s'ils rentrent sur son territoire. En revanche, elle a appris à respecter les volailles (elle m'a tué plusieurs poules mais ne le fait plus). ELLE EST ADORABLE AVEC SA FAMILLE (aime les enfants) et les gens qu'elle voit régulièrement. Enfants OK, chiens mâles de sa taille OK, maison avec terrain bien clos (grimpe au portail pour attaquer les gens qui s'arrêtent devant chez moi). Quelqu'un ayant une grande expérience des chiens dominants et réactifs. Si chien, il faut que ce soit un gros mâle ou seul, sauf si gérée par une personne très compétente. Ne doit jamais rester seule avec des petits chiens. Chez moi elle vit en meute (elle sait qui est le chef), mais je déconseille ce mode de vie à un éventuel futur adoptant. Pas de chats : elle les tue. L'été passé, elle a tué un chat errant qui était entré sur son territoire. Mais je n'ai pas de chat de "maison" chez moi - peut-être qu'elle accepterait un chat de famille ? Elle est propre et demande à sortir. Elle sait marcher en laisse : Normalement, une fois sortie de son territoire, elle n'est plus dangereuse, mais je ne la sort que pour aller chez le véto, car j'ai un terrain de 5 hectares. Elle peut rester seule sans souci. Elle ne fait aucun dégât. CAPRICE N'A PEUR DE RIEN ! ! ! C'est une fonceuse qui n'hésite jamais. Pas de promenade en dehors du terrain Elle commence à faire des allergies aux insectes au printemps et en été. Elle pèse entre 25 et 30 kg - C'est une chienne très puissante. Avril 2021 : Sociable et amicale, Caprice aime avoir l-attention de sa famille sur elle. Protectrice, elle est très bonne gardienne et méfiante vis à vis des inconnus. Elle a donc besoin de voir du monde et de poursuivre le travail entamé par sa famille d-accueil à ce sujet. Caprice est affectueuse, obéissante et intelligence. Elle s-attache rapidement aux gens qu-elle côtoie régulièrement.

About Caprice

What life with Caprice looks like

Caprice is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Remember Me France in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 Caprice, answered.

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