Leïa

Border Collie · Female · Young · 2 years

Leïa est une chienne au passé très difficile. Elle est extrêmement craintive et nous serons très exigeant sur son placement. Nous recherchons pour elle des adoptants patients, ayant déjà un autre chien bien dans ses pattes et une bonne connaissance des chiens craintifs. Elle devra vivre dans un environnement calme avec un jardin bien clôturé (balade en laisse pour le moment impossible). Un accompagnement avec des professionnels devra également être mis en place. Avant toute rencontre merci de nous contacter par mail à pour nous présenter votre projet d'adoption, et de nombreuses visites étalées sur plusieurs semaines seront nécessaires avant son placement définitif.

About Leïa

What life with Leïa looks like

Leïa is a young adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Perpignan in Perpignan.

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 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 Leïa, answered.

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