GEORGES

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Here is our adorable GEORGES, a Beagle about 3½ years old who has unfortunately become almost completely blind. Last October, he was found behind the Ste Thérèse pharmacy in La Possession, at the bottom of a hole he had fallen into because he couldn't see anything. Initially taken in by the Le Grand Banoir clinic, he was treated for his ehrlichiosis (a disease transmitted by ticks). Then Anatole, a veterinarian with a big heart, contacted our association, and he became a Sauvadien. It was Béatrice who took him out of the clinic. He is still with her in a foster family and is very well cared for. She tells us about him: "At home, he first found a great canine friend who restored his joy of living, and also some feline friends, because Georges is a very easygoing dog with everyone. Sauvade decided to give him every chance to recover his sight, at least partially, by having him consult an ophthalmologist. It was therefore decided to operate on both of Georges's eyes to remove the cataracts caused by the ehrlichiosis. After several weeks of recovery and hundreds of eye drops in his poor painful eyes, his vision unfortunately did not improve because the cornea is too damaged. Despite everything, Georges remains a dog who is very content and very close to humans. Georges is a very calm and obedient dog. A true velcro dog with people, he is also very sociable with dogs, cats and children. In short, he loves everyone. On walks, he is a true hunting dog. He sniffs everywhere and tends to explore. You have to be careful because he doesn't see danger coming. He often bumps into things and sometimes falls down embankments. When he knows the route, it is easier for him, but never completely safe. Even though he manages very well, great vigilance is always needed because we are his eyes. Familiar places are therefore preferable for his landmarks. A companion dog that would follow him everywhere would also be ideal."

Voici notre adorable GEORGES, un Beagle d’environ 3 ans et demi qui est malheureusement devenu presque totalement aveugle. Au mois d’octobre dernier, il a été trouvé derrière la pharmacie de Ste Thérèse à La Possession au fond d’un trou dans lequel il est tombé car il n’y voyait rien. Recueilli par la clinique Le Grand Banoir dans un premier temps, il a été soigné pour son ehrlichiose (maladie transmise par les tiques). Puis Anatole, vétérinaire au grand cœur, a contacté notre association et il est devenu Sauvadien. C’est Béatrice qui l’a sorti de la clinique . Il se trouve toujours chez elle en famille d’accueil et est bien choyé. Cette dernière nous dit de lui : “ A la maison, il a d’abord trouvé une super copine chien qui lui a redonné la joie de vivre et aussi des copains chats car Georges est un chien très cool avec tout le monde. Sauvade a décidé de lui donner toutes ses chances de recouvrer la vue au moins partiellement en le faisant bénéficier d’une consultation chez un ophtalmologue. Il a donc été décidé d’opérer les deux yeux de Georges pour lui retirer la cataracte causée par l’ehrlichiose. Après plusieurs semaines de convalescence et des centaines d’administration de collyres dans ses pauvres yeux douloureux, sa vue ne s’est malheureusement pas améliorée car la cornée est trop endommagée. Malgré tout, Georges reste un chien bien dans ses pattounes qui est très proche de l’humain. Georges est un chien très calme et obéissant. Véritable pot de colle avec l’humain, il est également très sociable avec les chiens, les chats et les enfants. Bref, il aime tout le monde. En balade, c’est un véritable chien de chasse. Il renifle partout et cherche à explorer. Il faut faire attention car il ne voit pas le danger arriver. Il se cogne souvent et cela lui arrive de tomber en contrebas. Quand il connaît le parcours, c’est plus facile pour lui mais jamais sans danger. Même s’il se débrouille très bien, il faut toujours faire preuve d’une grande vigilance car nous sommes ses yeux. Les endroits familiers sont donc préférables pour ses repères. Un chien de compagnie qui le suivrait partout serait également idéal. ” (function(){if(window. PGC_SGB && window.

About GEORGES

What life with GEORGES looks like

GEORGES is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Sauvade in France.

A young 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting GEORGES, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about GEORGES?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Sauvade handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw GEORGES on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt GEORGES if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Sauvade 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is GEORGES 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 GEORGES 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 Association Sauvade early rather than rehoming privately; they know GEORGES 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.
