Lucky

German Shepherd · Male · Young · 1 year

Ce qui l’inquiète surtout c’est l’attention directe des inconnus : il est plus à l’aise lorsqu’on passe à côté de lui sans le solliciter que lorsqu’une personne cherche à lui parler ou à le saluer. Les sorties sont toutefois de plus en plus faciles grâce aux expériences répétées. Avec lui, la confiance se construit étape par étape. Il n’acceptera pas immédiatement qu’une nouvelle personne entre dans sa bulle. Il a besoin de la revoir, de passer du temps avec elle et de constater qu’elle ne lui veut aucun mal. Une fois cette étape franchie, il peut se montrer plus à l’aise. Il adore les promenades et a d’ailleurs compris que la vue d’une laisse est synonyme de sortie. Grâce à la patience des bénévoles, certains peuvent désormais le promener sans difficultés. A l'extérieur de son parc, Lucky est plus joyeux et enjoué. Il vient réclamer des friandises, apprécie les balades lorsqu'une relation de confiance s’est établie. Un des plaisirs de Lucky est de barboter dans l’eau. Vis-à-vis des autres chiens il peut se montrer proche mais possède son petit caractère. Son jeu peut être très brusque : il aboie, percute et s'excite beaucoup. Il peut donc vivre avec un autre chien bien codé et capable de supporter son énergie. Il revient au rappel même s'il aime parfois faire les choses à sa façon... Lucky aura besoin d'une famille patiente, douce et persévérante, prête à lui laisser le temps nécessaire pour franchir chaque étape. Une fois qu'il a compris qu'il peut faire confiance, on découvre en lui un chien joyeux, attachant et plein de personnalité.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

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

A 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. 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. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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.
