Adopt CHOUQUETTE

Cairn Terrier · Female · Senior · 13 years

CHOUQUETTE is a lovely 13-year-old grandma of indeterminate breed. Gentle and affectionate, she enjoys the company of her human, even though she doesn't often ask for cuddles. However, she loves spending time outside and going for walks. Friendly, she gets along very well with cats, dogs, and even chickens. In good health, CHOUQUETTE leads a peaceful and balanced life, alternating between relaxing on the couch and nice walks outdoors. Available in Lanouée (56)

Chouquette est une adorable mamie de 13 ans, de race indéterminée. Douce et attachante, elle apprécie la présence de son humain, même si elle ne réclame pas souvent des câlins. En revanche, elle adore passer du temps dehors et partir en promenade. Sociable, elle s’entend très bien avec les chats, les chiens, et même les poules. En pleine forme, Chouquette mène une vie paisible et équilibrée, entre moments de repos sur le canapé et jolies balades au grand air. Visible à Lanouée (56)

About CHOUQUETTE

What life with CHOUQUETTE looks like

CHOUQUETTE is a senior cairn terrier dog waiting at Moustaches et Compagnie in moustaches et compagnie.

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. 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. Moustaches et Compagnie 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 — Moustaches et Compagnie 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 Moustaches et Compagnie 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.
