COLETTE

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Je m'appelle COLETTE, et je cherche ma famille pour la vie ! 🐾 🔹 Sexe : femelle ♀️ 🔹 Naissance estimée : Septembre 2017 🔹 Taille approximative adulte : Moyenne 🔹 Caractère : Timide mais résiliente ‼️ Je me trouve en fourrière en Roumanie, vous ne pourrez pas me rencontrer avant de m'adopter. Je suis née en 2017 et, depuis 2019, j’attends derrière les barreaux de cette fourrière roumaine… Des années à connaître le froid, le bruit, le stress et l’attente, sans jamais perdre l’espoir qu’un jour quelqu’un me choisisse. Je suis une chienne sociable avec mes congénères, mais timide avec les humains même si je fais preuve de beaucoup de résilience. Tout ce que je souhaite aujourd’hui, c’est enfin quitter ce box et découvrir progressivement la douceur d’un foyer, les promenades, les câlins et cette sensation merveilleuse d’être enfin chez moi. ❤️ 🔹 Entente ✅ congénères et humains 🔹 Entente ❓ avec les chats 🏡 Maison ou appartement, il faudra m'apprendre la vie de famille avec patience, douceur et bienveillance! 🔹 Identifiée, vaccinée 💉 stérilisée 🔹 Prête à voyager grâce à mon passeport européen. 🚚 Frais d'adoption : 200€ Adopter, c'est Aimer ! Parce que l'amour n'a pas de prix, mais il a un visage - le mien ! 🐾❤️

About COLETTE

What life with COLETTE looks like

COLETTE is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at L in l arche de kala.

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 COLETTE, answered.

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