Niki

Australian Shepherd · Female · Senior · 9 years

📌 Pour toute demande d’adoption, aucune candidature ne sera prise en compte par message ou par tĂ©lĂ©phone. Les dĂ©marches devront obligatoirement se faire directement au refuge. Merci de votre comprĂ©hension. ❀ đŸ©· NIKI – Berger Australien – 9 ans Neuf ans de vie, des portĂ©es Ă  rĂ©pĂ©tition
 et toujours pas de famille Ă  elle. ❀‍đŸ©č Nicky est une rĂ©formĂ©e d’élevage. Elle recherche un foyer chaleureux, un panier douillet, des promenades en famille et des humains qui l’aiment simplement pour ce qu’elle est. Avec le temps, Nicky est devenue une chienne plutĂŽt calme et tranquille. Elle n’a plus besoin de courir aprĂšs mille aventures : son bonheur se trouvera certainement dans les petites choses. Une balade Ă  son rythme, une sieste au chaud, une prĂ©sence rassurante Ă  ses cĂŽtĂ©s
 et peut-ĂȘtre, pour la premiĂšre fois, la certitude d’avoir enfin une maison Ă  elle. đŸĄâ€ïž C’est une louloute vraiment mignonne et attachante, qui mĂ©rite qu’on s’intĂ©resse Ă  elle malgrĂ© ses neuf ans. Parce que non, neuf ans, ce n’est pas trop vieux pour ĂȘtre aimĂ©e. Ce n’est pas trop tard pour dĂ©couvrir le bonheur d’ĂȘtre un chien de famille. Et ce n’est certainement pas trop tard pour devenir le petit trĂ©sor de quelqu’un. 💗 Ententes : đŸ¶ Chiens : OK sur prĂ©sentation đŸ± Chats : inconnus. đŸ‘¶ Enfants : inconnus, mais une entente pourrait ĂȘtre envisageable aprĂšs prĂ©sentation. đŸ©ș SantĂ© : -> Oreilles trĂšs sales nĂ©cessitant un suivi rigoureux et un entretien rĂ©gulier. -> DĂ©tartrage rĂ©alisĂ©. -> Des radiographies ont Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ©es et ont mis en Ă©vidence de l’arthrose. Les longues promenades et les randonnĂ©es ne seront donc plus adaptĂ©es Ă  Nicky. Elle aura besoin de petites balades tranquilles, respectueuses de ses capacitĂ©s et de son confort. 📚 Contrat d’éducation obligatoire. 📍SPA ANNECY MARLIOZ

About Niki

What life with Niki looks like

Niki is a senior australian shepherd dog waiting at SPA d'Annecy Marlioz in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

đŸ‡«đŸ‡·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 Niki, answered.

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