My name is COLETTE, and I am looking for my family for life! 🐾 🔹 Sex: female ♀️ 🔹 Estimated birth: September 2017 🔹 Approximate adult size: Medium 🔹 Temperament: Shy but resilient ‼️ I am in a pound in Romania, so you will not be able to meet me before adopting me. I was born in 2017 and, since 2019, I have been waiting behind the bars of this Romanian pound… Years of knowing the cold, the noise, the stress and the waiting, without ever losing hope that someday someone will choose me. I am a dog who is sociable with my fellow dogs, but shy with humans, even though I show a great deal of resilience. All I wish for today is to finally leave this kennel and gradually discover the gentleness of a home, walks, cuddles and that wonderful feeling of finally being home. ❤️ 🔹 Gets along ✅ with dogs and humans 🔹 Gets along ❓ with cats 🏡 House or apartment, you will need to teach me family life with patience, gentleness and kindness! 🔹 Identified, vaccinated 💉 spayed 🔹 Ready to travel thanks to my European passport. 🚚 Adoption fee: €200 Adopting is loving! Because love has no price, but it has a face – mine! 🐾❤️

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. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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.
