Adopt MAC QCN

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 8 years

Mac is a sensitive dog who needs a little time to build his trust... but once he trusts, he turns out to be a playful, affectionate companion very close to humans. He loves long walks and will be delighted to accompany you on all your adventures in the great outdoors. He is also a pleasant dog to live with on a daily basis: clean, calm, and non-destructive. Mac can thrive equally well in an apartment or in a house with a fenced yard. He may eventually share his life with a calm and respectful dog, but he does not get along with cats. If you are ready to give him the time he needs, Mac will know how to offer you a sincere and full of complicity relationship. Come meet him, he deserves a chance?

Mac est un chien sensible qui a besoin d’un peu de temps pour accorder sa confiance… mais une fois en confiance, il se révèle être un compagnon joueur, affectueux et très proche de l’humain. Amateur de grandes balades, il sera ravi de vous accompagner dans toutes vos aventures en pleine nature. C’est aussi un chien agréable à vivre au quotidien : propre, calme et non destructeur. Mac pourra s’épanouir aussi bien en appartement qu’en maison avec jardin clôturé. Il pourra éventuellement partager sa vie avec un chien calme et respectueux, mais ne s’entend pas avec les chats. Si vous êtes prêt à lui laisser le temps dont il a besoin, Mac saura vous offrir une relation sincère et pleine de complicité. Venez le rencontrer, il mérite sa chance ??

About MAC QCN

What life with MAC QCN looks like

MAC QCN is a medium-sized adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Quimper in Quimper.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires multiple meetings to build trust, prefers women over men, needs patient socialization

🇫🇷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 MAC QCN, answered.

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