How do I contact the shelter about CHIPIE?

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

Can I adopt CHIPIE if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Thionville 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 CHIPIE 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 CHIPIE 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 Thionville early rather than rehoming privately; they know CHIPIE 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.

Adopt CHIPIE

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 7 years

CHIPIE comes from another shelter, hoping to find its new family. Very obedient and attentive to its master, it's always a pleasure to spend time with her. She is extremely affectionate and close to her human. CHIPIE is also very energetic and needs to burn off her energy to feel good on her paws. She does not readily trust newcomers and will need some time to get to know you. In addition, CHIPIE is unique; she has a small quirk that gives her an irresistible charm! She was born with a minor eyelid deformity on her right side. But this does not bother her and requires no special care. Like no one can be perfect, CHIPIE also does not tolerate cats. However, she can coexist with other animals of the same species outdoors with patience and effort! She will need to be the only pet in the household and cannot coexist with children.

Read original (fr)

Chipie nous vient d’un autre refuge, dans l’espoir de trouver sa nouvelle famille. Très obéissante et à l'écoute de son maître, c'est toujours un plaisir de partager des moments avec elle. Elle se montre extrêmement câline et proche de son humain. Chipie est également très dynamique et a besoin de dépenser son énergie pour se sentir bien dans ses pattes. Elle n'accorde pas sa confiance au premier venu et aura besoin d'un peu de temps pour apprendre à vous connaître. En plus Chipie est unique, elle possède une petite particularité qui lui donne un charme irrésistible ! Elle est née avec une malformation de la paupière droite. Mais cela ne la gêne pas et n'implique aucun soin particulier. Comme personne ne peut être parfait, Chipie ne tolère pas non plus les chats. Elle pourra en revanche côtoyer des congénères en extérieur mais avec de la patience et du travail ! Elle devra être le seul animal du foyer, et ne pourra pas côtoyer d'enfants.

About CHIPIE

What life with CHIPIE looks like

CHIPIE is a adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Thionville in Thionville.

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.
