Adopt CHOUQUETTE

Border Collie · Female · Young · 1 year

Chouquette provient d'une saisie d'un élevage peu recommandable. 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 malvoyante (probablement aveugle). Sa future famille devra donc être prête à gérer ce double handicap en étant suivie par une éducatrice, si possible. Chouquette est un peu timide aux premiers abords mais est très proche de l'humain une fois qu'elle connaît. Elle est dynamique et aura besoin de balades quotidiennes pour son équilibre. Le foyer idéal pour elle serait une maison en campagne avec jardin, sans jeunes enfants. Une adoption double avec sa sœur Briochette serait un plus.

About CHOUQUETTE

What life with CHOUQUETTE looks like

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

An 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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting CHOUQUETTE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CHOUQUETTE?
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 CHOUQUETTE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt CHOUQUETTE 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is CHOUQUETTE 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 CHOUQUETTE 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 CHOUQUETTE 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.
