Curly

Maltese · Male · Adult · 4 years

Curly needs patience, gentleness, understanding, and empathy to find the right balance of affection with a lady to whom, once he feels safe, he will dedicate all his love. Because he is a cute, affectionate, and demonstrative little dog. He gets along perfectly with other dogs and loves to play with them. The first step is to fill out the questionnaire :) For each adoption, we request: a copy of your ID and a copy of your utility bill. All our dogs are: microchipped, vaccinated (including rabies), dewormed, and deparasited. They have their European passport and a detailed health report from the veterinarian. Adult dogs are also sterilized and neutered. Adoption fees are based on the costs incurred for each dog. To submit an adoption request, please complete the available form and return it by email to this address:

About Curly

What life with Curly looks like

Curly is a small adult maltese dog waiting at 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres in France.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Curly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Curly?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Curly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Curly if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres 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 Curly 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 Curly 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 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres early rather than rehoming privately; they know Curly 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.
