Gustave

Border Collie · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Mon histoire : Voici Gustave, un adorable petit croisé Border Collie de 10 semaines.Avec sa bouille d’ange, Gustave est un véritable pot de colle qui adore la présence et les câlins des humains. Très affectueux, il raffole des gratouilles sur le ventre et ne se fait pas prier pour venir chercher un peu d’attention. Mon caractère : Gustave est également joueur et plein de vie. Il apprécie beaucoup la compagnie de ses congénères et s’entend très bien avec les chats. Une famille avec des enfants pourrait tout à fait lui convenir, sous réserve d’un environnement adapté et respectueux des besoins d’un jeune chiot. J'aime / J'aime pas : Comme tout chiot de son âge, tout reste à lui apprendre : la propreté, les règles de la maison, la marche en laisse, les petits apprentissages du quotidien… Il faudra donc une famille disponible, patiente et prête à l’accompagner dans ses découvertes.De par ses origines Border Collie, Gustave aura besoin de dépenses physiques et surtout de stimulations mentales adaptées à son âge pour être pleinement épanoui. Il faudra lui proposer progressivement des activités, des découvertes et de l’éducation positive, tout en respectant son rythme de jeune chiot.

About Gustave

What life with Gustave looks like

Gustave is a puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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 Gustave, answered.

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