How do I contact the shelter about Nick?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association d handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nick on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nick if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association d 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 Nick 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 Nick 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 Association d early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nick 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.

Adopt Nick

Unknown

Male Berger Américain Miniature XL Visible in 78 At adoption: Nick Berger Américain Miniature XL Nick is a sensitive and endearing dog with a complicated past. Coercive methods he experienced have made him lose trust in humans and he suffers from anxiety. With his family, he is a playful, affectionate, and human-loving companion. He adores his toys and sharing activities with his humans. But Nick is not a "plug-and-play" dog: with strangers, he can bark a lot and nip at feet under stress. He needs time to build trust. OK, with calm females and males, he can become aggressive with dogs that are too rough or aggressive. No children. No city center. Nick seeks an active, invested family willing to continue his education with patience and kindness. Mandatory follow-up with an animal behaviorist or positive-method educator exclusively. Up-to-date vaccinations. Home with a garden, essential with no shared walls. Visible in Sartrouville Adoptable in Île-de-France and nearby exclusively. No carpooling: it is essential to come and meet the dog.

About Nick

What life with Nick looks like

Nick is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Association d 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.
