NICKY

Mixed Breed · Female

Born on 01/09/20 Nicky did not have an easy start in life... she lived with her owner Sdf, when we took her in, she had eye bruises from the hits... She is learning slowly to trust humans again. She is a sensitive dog, still a bit wary, but who only asks for one thing: to be loved and reassured. She will need a patient family, without young children, ready to accompany her with gentleness (behavioral follow-up is recommended). NICKY finally deserves to know safety, tenderness...

Née le 01/09/202 Nicky n’a pas eu un début de vie facile… elle vivait avec son maître Sdf, quand nous l’avons prise en charge, elle avait des hématomes aux yeux dus aux coups..Elle apprend aujourd’hui doucement à refaire confiance à l’humain. C’est une chienne sensible, encore un peu méfiante, mais qui ne demande qu’une chose : être aimée et rassurée Elle aura besoin d’une famille patiente, sans jeunes enfants, prête à l’accompagner avec douceur (un suivi comportemental est conseillé). NICKY mérite enfin de connaître la sécurité, la tendresse… et une vraie vie de chien À jour de vaccins Identifiée

About NICKY

What life with NICKY looks like

NICKY is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Un Gîte Une Gamelle in Pollestres.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting NICKY, answered.

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