How do I contact the shelter about Happy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Le Locle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Happy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Happy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Le Locle 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 Happy 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 Happy 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 Le Locle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Happy 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.

Happy

Female · Young · 3 years

Happy arrived at the shelter with her 9 puppies in a condition that was more than critical... we didn't think we'd manage to save her—or her puppies, for that matter. But each of them has since regained their strength, and all of her puppies have found their perfect forever homes. Unfortunately for Happy, the ideal home wasn't found—but for health reasons, she won't be able to stay there much longer. Happy is a young, lively dog who loves playing, is very sociable, and extremely athletic. She’s passionate about running and long hikes, but her outings are mainly on leash, as her hunting-dog heritage makes her eager to chase after game. Indoors, she's very calm and enjoys comfort; she won't cause any damage or accidents! Happy absolutely needs someone just as active and sporty as herself to help burn off her overflowing energy. She’d love to live with another dog, and while cats can be accommodated, they’ll need to be properly introduced. Small animals should definitely be avoided. Profile we’re looking for: If you’re interested in our sweet and sporty Happy and would like to learn more, don’t hesitate to contact us at 87. Please note: Visits are by appointment only!

Happy est arrivée au refuge avec ses 9 petits dans un état plus que critique… nous ne pensions pas réussir à la sauver, ni ses chiots d’ailleurs. Mais chacun d’entre eux a repris des forces et tous ses chiots ont trouvé un foyer idéal. Malheureusement pour Happy, la place idéal fu trouvée, mais pour des raisons de santé, elle n’aura pas pu y poser son panier bien longtemps. Happy est une jeune chienne pleine de vie, joueuse, sociable et très sportive. Adepte de la course a pied et des longues randonnées, ses sorties se font essentiellement en laisse, car ses origines de chiens de chasse lui donnent envie de poursuivre le gibier. Elle est très calme en intérieur, apprécie le confort et ne fera ni dégâts, ni besoins ! Happy a absolument besoin de personne autant sportive qu’elle afin de dépenser son énergie débordante. Elle appréciera cohabiter avec un autre chien, la présence des chats est possible mais nécessite une intégration correcte. Les petits animaux sont absolument à éviter. Profil que nous recherchons : Si vous êtes intéressé(e) par notre douce et sportive Happy et que vous souhaitez en savoir plus, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter au 87. Attention, visite sur rendez-vous uniquement !

About Happy

What life with Happy looks like

Happy is a young adult dog waiting at SPA Le Locle in Le Locle.

An 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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
