LUCKY

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Lucky was given to us because his owner no longer had time to care for him. Lucky is the kind of dog you don't forget. A superb Border Collie mix with a huge heart and infectious joy! As you can see in the photos, Lucky doesn't really have a concept of personal space... He's a loving dog, extremely affectionate, who loves to snuggle up with his human and share all moments of everyday life with him. If you're looking for a fusion and affectionate companion, you will love him! His needs: action and play! Border Collie heritage obliges, Lucky has plenty of energy. He will need beautiful daily walks to expend it, stimulating games and an active family ready to invest in his development. His ideal home: Lucky has already lived with children. He loves family life, but his enthusiasm can make him a bit rough. So we'll prioritize a home with older kids who know how

Lucky nous a été cédé car son propriétaire n'avait plus le temps de s'en occuper. Lucky, c'est le genre de chien qu'on n'oublie pas. Un superbe croisé Border Collie avec un cœur immense et une joie de vivre communicative ! Comme vous pouvez le voir sur les photos, la notion d'espace personnel n'existe pas vraiment pour Lucky... C'est un amour de chien, extrêmement câlin, qui adore coller son humain et partager tous les moments du quotidien avec lui. Si vous cherchez un compagnon fusionnel et affectueux, vous allez l'adorer ! Ses besoins : de l'action et du jeu ! Héritage Border Collie oblige, Lucky a de l'énergie à revendre. Il aura besoin de belles balades quotidiennes pour se dépenser, de jeux stimulants et d'une famille présente et dynamique, prête à s'investir dans son épanouissement. Son foyer idéal : Lucky a déjà vécu avec des enfants. Il adore la vie de famille, mais son enthousiasme peut le rendre un peu brusque. On privilégiera donc un foyer avec de grands enfants qui sauront

About LUCKY

What life with LUCKY looks like

LUCKY is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Saverne in France.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting LUCKY, answered.

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