How do I contact the shelter about Lucky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sans Collier Provence 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 — Sans Collier Provence 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 Sans Collier Provence 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.

Lucky

Belgian Malinois · Male · Young · 1 year

He is too afraid to approach people he doesn't know and panics when he has to meet others; therefore, he cannot be placed in a city because everything scares him. We are therefore looking for adopters who live in a quiet environment without young children and are close to the shelter because it will be imperative to visit several times to build bonds and establish trust. Lucky is close to other animals of the same species, but he lacks certain social cues. At first, he can be very reserved, even frozen, then become a bit intrusive once he feels more comfortable. He has started to learn "sit" with the motivation of some treats... Over time, Lucky has gotten used to staying in his pen. However, when he recognizes people, he allows them to enter his space and eventually calms down, even though he does not always approach immediately. Once he trusts the person who takes care of him daily, Lucky accepts the leash for walks, a moment he eventually comes to enjoy. This progress highlights the importance of time, patience, and gentleness, while maintaining a structured environment to help him evolve positively and become the beloved companion that everyone dreams of.

Nous cherchons donc des adoptants qui habitent dans un cadre calme sans enfants en bas âge et assez proche du refuge car il faudra impérativement venir plusieurs fois pour tisser des liens et établir la confiance. Lucky se montre proche de ses congénères, mais il lui manque certains codes. Au début, il peut se montrer timide, voire bloqué, puis devenir un peu envahissant une fois qu’il se sent plus à l’aise. Il a un début de “assis”, motivé par quelques friandises… Avec le temps, Lucky a pris l’habitude de garder son parc. Cependant, lorsqu’il reconnaît les personnes, il leur permet d’entrer dans son espace et finit par se calmer, même s’il n’ose pas toujours s’approcher immédiatement. Une fois en confiance avec la personne qui s’occupe de lui au quotidien, Lucky accepte la laisse pour sortir en promenade, un moment qu’il finit par apprécier. Ce progrès met en évidence l’importance du temps, de la patience et de la douceur, tout en maintenant un cadre structurant pour l’aider à évoluer de façon positive et devenir le petit compagnon dont chacun rêve.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a medium-sized young adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Sans Collier Provence in France.

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.
