Adopt Gentiane

Female · Adult · 6 years

We present Gentiane and her story: "Gentiane is a small dog, estimated to be between 5 and 6 years old, who was found wandering by a lady in the village where she works. After going to see her and talking to her, the dog finally jumped into her car. Taken to the veterinarian, it was noted that she was not microchipped. Her claws being very long, they were trimmed. The lady gave her a good bath, which was much needed, and alerted the surrounding town halls and posted her on Pet Alert 60, 62, 59, 80, without success. Gentiane slept for two days, exhausted. Having already three dogs, and not being able to keep her, the lady contacted us to ask if we could take her in. Gentiane is okay with dogs, cats, and chickens. In reality, she is rather indifferent to other animals and lives her life. She needs to lose some weight but is also very muscular. She easily jumps onto a chair." Marion kindly offered to go fetch her and will keep her in foster care until the AG, or Poupounette will take over as foster family unless she is reserved before then. Gentiane will be seen by the veterinarian very soon, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. Here are the first photos taken by Aunt Marion, whom I thank for her hospitality.

Nous vous présentons Gentiane et son histoire : "Gentiane est une petite chienne, estimée entre 5 et 6 ans, qui a été trouvée errante par une dame dans le village où elle travaille. A force d'aller la voir et de lui parler, la chienne a fini par sauter dans sa voiture. Conduite chez le vétérinaire, il a été constaté qu'elle n'était pas identifiée. Ses griffes étant très longues, elles ont été coupées. La dame lui a fait prendre un bon bain, bien nécessaire, et a prévenu les mairies alentour et l'a signalée sur Pet Alert 60,62,59,80, sans succès. Gentiane a dormi pendant deux jours, épuisée. Ayant déjà trois chiens, et ne pouvant la garder, la dame nous a contacté pour nous demander si nous pouvions la prendre en charge. Gentiane est ok chiens, chats et poules. En réalité, elle est plutôt indifférente aux autres animaux et vit sa vie. Elle a besoin de perdre du poids mais est aussi très musclée. Elle saute sur une chaise aisément." Marion a très gentiment proposé d'aller la chercher et elle va la garder en accueil jusqu'à l'A.G ou ce sera Poupounette qui prendra le relais comme famille d'accueil à moins qu'elle soit réservée d'ici là. Gentiane va très vite être vu par le vétérinaire, vaccinée, identifiée et stérilisée. Voici les premières photos prise par Tatie Marion que je remercie pour son accueil.

About Gentiane

What life with Gentiane looks like

Gentiane is a adult dog waiting at Cani-Seniors in cani seniors.

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 Gentiane, answered.

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