Adopt Jilou

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 11 years

Voici le message que j'ai reçu cette semaine de la part d'une jeune femme. "Bonjour, Ma belle mère a abandonné ses 2 petit chiens de 11 ans. Ne pouvant pas les accueillir chez moi je cherche quelqu’un qui pourrait les adopter ou les accueillir en famille d’accueil. Ce sont deux bichons croisés yorkshire Bonne soirée Charlene" Des photos étaient jointes, montrant les deux petits chiens complètement tondus (pas top vu les températures actuelles) dans une petite cours et avec me précisera t elle juste une petite niche dans lequel elle a rajouté une couverture pour qu'ils aient moins froid. En creusant le sujet concernant les chiens dont l'histoire ne me paraissait pas si claire, j'ai fini par comprendre que sa belle-mère a qui appartenait ces 2 petits chiens avait quitté le domicile conjugale en Août 2023 (au début il m'avait semblé logique que ce devait être août 2025 mais non ça fait plus de 2 ans qu'ils vivent dans cette cours) en laissant derrière elle ses chiens. Le beau-père n'ayant jamais voulu de chiens , suite au départ de sa femme, les a relégué dans la petite cours et ne s'en occupe plus. C'est donc la belle-fille qui vit à 30 mn de là, qui gentiment vient tous les jours les nourrir et nettoyer leurs déjections. C'est elle aussi qui les fait toiletter. La maison va être vendue prochainement et il faut donc que les chiens quittent la cours qui leur servait de nouveau lieu de vie. C'est le beau-père qui va venir me les amener demain car ni la jeune femme ni son compagnon qui travaillent ne seront disponibles. Jilou n'est pas castré ni vacciné et à priori pas de carnet de santé. Il sera vu par nos véto et castré mercredi prochain ainsi que primo-vacciné. Le plus beau cadeau qu'il pourrait avoir serait d'avoir une famille bien à lui pour Noël. Jilou est proposé au parrainage et à l'adoption.

About Jilou

What life with Jilou looks like

Jilou is a senior yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Cani-Seniors in cani seniors.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 Jilou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jilou?
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 Jilou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jilou 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 Jilou 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 Jilou 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 Jilou 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.
