DONNIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Donnie est un adorable chiot de 2 mois, arrivé au refuge avec ses frères et sœurs. Comme tout jeune chiot, elle est au début de sa vie et a encore tout à apprendre. Elle recherche une famille prête à l’accompagner avec patience, bienveillance et cohérence dans son éducation. La propreté, la marche en laisse, les règles de la maison, la socialisation… tout sera à construire avec elle. Les premiers mois sont essentiels pour elle permettre de devenir un chien équilibré et bien dans ses pattes. Elle aura besoin de temps, d’activités adaptées à son âge et de beaucoup d’amour pour grandir sereinement. Ne peut être que réservée pour le moment

About DONNIE

What life with DONNIE looks like

DONNIE is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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 DONNIE, answered.

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