Adopt LOUPETTE

Border Collie · Female · Young · 2 years

LOUPETTE just arrived from the pound. What we can already observe is that she doesn't seem to have had very positive experiences with humans. Today, LOUPETTE is very fearful and particularly stressed. As she probably never knew a real family life, everything will need to be built from scratch with her: daily routines, walks, interactions with humans, or even the discovery of a reassuring home. The presence of another well-adjusted dog could greatly help LOUPETTE gain confidence and relax more easily through the example and support of her companion. We are looking for adopters for LOUPETTE who are patient, gentle, and understanding, ready to give her the time to evolve at her own pace. A home with a well-fenced yard will be essential to offer her a safe environment.

Loupette vient tout juste d’arriver de fourrière. Ce que nous pouvons déjà constater, c’est qu’elle ne semble pas avoir vécu des expériences très positives avec l’humain. Aujourd’hui, Loupette se montre très craintive et particulièrement stressée. Comme elle n’a probablement jamais connu une vraie vie de famille, tout sera à construire avec elle : les habitudes du quotidien, les promenades, les interactions avec les humains ou encore la découverte d’un foyer rassurant. La présence d’un autre chien bien dans ses pattes pourrait beaucoup l’aider à prendre confiance et à se détendre plus facilement grâce à l’exemple et au soutien de son compagnon. Nous recherchons pour Loupette des adoptants patients, doux et compréhensifs, prêts à lui laisser le temps d’évoluer à son rythme. Une maison avec un jardin bien clôturé sera indispensable afin de lui offrir un environnement sécurisant.

About LOUPETTE

What life with LOUPETTE looks like

LOUPETTE is a young adult border collie dog waiting at SPA La Roche-sur-Yon in Roche Sur Yon.

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 LOUPETTE, answered.

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