Mama

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Mama, Female, X Berger, born 25/08/2024 🐶 Identified: N° 250 26 96 11 85 19 84 (Non LOF) I am spayed 🩹 Hi, I'm Mama. I weigh about 23kg My story... It started outside, on a path, with my puppies. When Auntie found me, I was very thin, very fearful, tail down, a piece of rope around my neck. I was protecting my puppies as best I could, barking to defend them. No aggression, just fear. And then there was the rescue. But following a suspicion of poisoning, only Chabin and I survived. 😢 We were sheltered together, and since that day, I've been rebuilding myself. Auntie thinks I was tied up for a long time, maybe beaten or threatened with a stick... Because at first, when someone threw a stick to play, I would cower as if I had done something wrong. 🥺 But with her good care, I regained weight, I got a nice coat, and most importantly... I started to regain confidence. I'm discovering that humans are nice.

Quand Tatie m’a trouvée, j’étais très maigre, très craintive, la queue basse, un morceau de corde autour du cou.Je protégeais mes chiots comme je pouvais, en aboyant pour les défendre. Pas d’agressivité, juste de la peur.Et puis il y a eu le sauvetage.Mais suite à une suspicion d’empoisonnement, seuls Chabin et moi avons survécu. 😢On a été mis à l’abri, ensemble, et depuis ce jour-là, je me reconstruis. Tatie pense que j’ai été attachée longtemps, peut‑être frappée ou menacée avec un bâton... Parce qu’au début, quand quelqu’un lançait un bâton pour jouer, je me recroquevillais comme si j’avais fait une bêtise. 🥺Mais avec ses bons soins, j’ai repris du poids, j’ai retrouvé un beau pelage, et surtout... J’ai commencé à reprendre confiance.Je découvre que les humai

About Mama

What life with Mama looks like

Mama is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Les Truffes du Soleil 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mama, answered.

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