Type/Race : Chihuahua Âge : 11 ans (née le 18/06/2010) N° de puce : 250268500342919 Histoire : Décès de la propriétaire Caractère/Description : Flaubert est amour. Sage, câlin. Il n’aboie que par imitation ou pour sortir faire ses besoins. Il est propre. Il a été détartré. Deux dents ont été extraites. Des poils s’étaient insérés dans les gencives, il a fallu les enlever également. Le bilan sanguin est correct mais il a un souffle au cœur à surveiller mais pas de traitement à lui donner. Il fait 2kg 110 et a donc besoin de prendre un peu de poids encore. Frais d’adoption : 260 euros L’adoption hors de France est tout à fait possible

About Flaubert

What life with Flaubert looks like

Flaubert is a senior chihuahua dog waiting at Action 4 Pets 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Flaubert, answered.

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