How do I contact the shelter about Fantine?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Remember Me France handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fantine on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Fantine if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Remember Me France 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 Fantine 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 Fantine 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 Remember Me France early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fantine 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.

Fantine

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Gender: female Age: born around February 2017 (approximate estimated date) Size: medium (14.2 kg - March 2024) Arrival at the shelter: March 2024 Spayed: yes Vaccinated: yes Microchipped: yes Compatibility: okay with dogs Temperament: fearful Progress: July 27, 2026: Her gaze at the shelter didn't lie—she's truly a very, very gentle and sweet little dog. Still too shy and too tired to explore the house (she’s not helped by Huska, who barks at her as soon as she sees her...), she’s currently staying in the room where I placed her upon arrival. My other four dogs have gently sniffed her (even Kouki, aka Miss Patate or Bulldozer, was very gentle!). She seems older than 9 years; her hindquarters feel stiff, even painful (?), and she can’t eat hard foods. Tonight, we served chicken breast, rice, and green beans—she seemed to enjoy it. She hasn’t yet understood what the absorbent pads are for and takes great care to relieve herself right next to them so as not to soil them. March 2, 2026: She’s progressing quickly, but the initial adjustment to family life might be challenging. Yet, when caregivers approach, she gets scared. Fearful upon arrival (March 1, 2024). History: Caught wandering at the request of the village of Cristesti. Mother of GAVALDA Contact: Spayed: yes Vaccinated: yes Microchipped: yes Compatibility: okay with dogs Temperament: March 2, 2026: She’s progressing quickly, but the initial adjustment to family life might be challenging. Yet, when caregivers approach, she gets scared.

Encore trop timide et trop fatiguée pour visiter la maison (elle n'est pas aidée par Huska qui lui aboie dessus dès qu'elle la voit...), elle reste pour l'instant dans la pièce où je l'ai installée à son arrivée. Mes 4 autres chiens ont été la renifler gentiment (même Kouki alias Miss Patate ou Bulldozer y a été en douceur !) Elle me paraît plus âgée que 9 ans, elle est raide voire douloureuse (?) au niveau de l'arrière train, et ne peut pas manger des choses dures. Ce soir, c'était blanc de poulet/riz/haricots verts : elle semble avoir apprécié Elle n'a pas compris à quoi servaient les alèses, et prend grand soin de faire ses besoins à côté pour ne pas les salir . 2 mars 2026 : Elle évolue vite mais peut-être que les débuts en famille seront difficiles, mais quand les gardiens s'approchent elle a peur Craintive à son arrivée (1er mars 2024) Histoire : Attrapée errante à la demande du village de Cristesti.

About Fantine

What life with Fantine looks like

Fantine is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Remember Me France in France.

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.
