Adopt Galette

Basset Hound · Female · Adult · 8 years

Is there a project of adoption for this animal? Send us an email () to receive the specific adoption questionnaire for the shelter (do not fill out the one on the website). A 7-day reflection period is mandatory between the moment you start your project (first email, phone, or physical contact) and the adoption. Galette lived her entire life in a kennel, often confined to darkness, without care and without affection. She is a shy little dog who still has difficulty trusting humans who approach her. Gentleness and kindness will be essential for her to gain confidence. She is sociable with other animals of the same species.

Un délai de réflexion de 7 jours est obligatoire entre le moment où vous débutez votre projet (1er contact mail, tel ou physique) et l'adoption. Galette a vécu toute sa vie en chenil, souvent enfermée dans le noir, sans soin et sans caresse. C'est une petite chienne timide, qui a encore du mal à faire confiance aux humains qui l'approchent. Douceur et bienveillance seront indispensables pour qu'elle puisse prendre confiance. Elle est sociable avec ses congénères.

About Galette

What life with Galette looks like

Galette is a adult basset hound dog waiting at SPA Millau in Millau.

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 Galette, answered.

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