KEES

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

KEES (M) 1 year - URGENT NEED FOR A TEMPORARY HOME OR ADOPTION BorderLineCollie Characteristics Birthday: 14/06/2022 Sex: Male Registered with LOF/LOSH/ISDS: No Disabilities: No Child compatibility: preferably not for now (see message below) Dog compatibility: to be tried (see message below) Cat compatibility: no Other compatibility: unknown Temperament For the family, Kees is a happy, gentle and affectionate dog. He is eager to learn and do things with you. Kees loves playing with water. The presence of strangers and children in the house is very stressful for Kees. Friends of children can no longer come to play, Kees barks loudly at them. Outside his familiar environment, Kees is unsure of himself, but once some issues are overcome, he becomes more and more confident. Although the owners have already done a lot to make Kees' life inside more pleasant, they have reluctantly decided to ask BorderLineCollie to find a more suitable home for Kees. History Kees arrived at his owners' home as a puppy. At the age of a few months, he was attacked twice by two different large dogs. Kees then started to show aggressive behavior on the leash towards (large) dogs. Kees also finds people and children he doesn't know very stressful. Thanks to training, this improves outside, but inside Kees is not at all comfortable with strangers. This has not yet led to unpleasant situations because his owners are "aware" and keep an eye on Kees. Kees is used to the crate, can be alone for a few hours a day and traveling by car is not a problem today. Kees knows basic commands. Outside, in the street, Kees shows a tendency to wander towards traffic.

Caractère: Pour la famille, Kees est un chien heureux, doux et câlin. Il est impatient d'apprendre et de faire quelque chose avec vous. Kees aime beaucoup jouer avec l'eau. La présence de personnes étrangères et d'enfants dans la maison est très stressante pour Kees. Les amis des enfants ne peuvent plus venir jouer, Kees leur aboie dessus bruyamment. En dehors de son environnement familier, Kees n'est pas sûr de lui, mais une fois certains problèmes surmontés, il devient de plus en plus confiant. Bien que les propriétaires aient déjà fait beaucoup pour rendre la vie de Kees à l'intérieur plus agréable, c'est avec peine au cœur qu'ils ont décidé de demander à BorderLineCollie de trouver un foyer mieux adapté à Kees. Son histoire: Kees est arrivé chez ses propriétaires à l'âge de chiot. A l'âge de quelques mois, il a été attaqué à deux reprises par deux grands chiens différents. Kees a alors commencé à manifester un comportement agressif en laisse envers les ( grands ) chiens. Kees trouve également les gens et les enfants qu'il ne connaît pas très stressant. Grâce au training, cela s'améliore à l'extérieur, mais à l'intérieur, Kees n'est pas du tout à l'aise avec les étrangers. Cela n'a pas encore conduit à des situations désagréables parce que ses propriétaires sont "au courant" et gardent un œil sur Kees. Kees est habitué à la cage, peut rester seul quelques heures par jour et voyager en voiture n'est pas un problème aujourd'hui. Kees connaît les ordres de base. A l'extérieur, dans la rue, Kees montre un comportement de dérive vers la circulation. La personne qui a effectué la visite à domicile pour BLC a été accueillie par Kees qui aboyait bruyamment à distance (il était en laisse). Kees ne s'est manifestement pas senti à l'aise lors de cette visite ; des signaux de stress étaient clairement présents et Kees a procédé à une "chasse à l'ombre" à quelques reprises, mais il s'en sort rapidement. BLC est à la recherche d'ACCUEIL ou d'adoptants qui, connaissant la race ainsi que les méthodes d'éducation positive et qui peuvent commencer à donner à Kees de l'assurance dans le monde des humains et dans celui des chiens. La présence d'un autre chien stable peut être très bénéfique pour Kees.

About KEES

What life with KEES looks like

KEES is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Border Line Collie in borderlinecollie.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting KEES, answered.

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