« Sally » dite « Nikita » est une chienne très énergique ! Entre balades et parties de jeux, elle aura besoin de suffisamment de stimulations et d’interactions au quotidien pour se sentir bien. Très obéissante, elle sait s’appliquer à montrer qu’elle connaît bien les ordres de base. Elle s’entend aussi très bien avec ses congénères. Nikita est de nature craintive et peut être un peu sur la réserve au départ. Au refuge, elle a gagné en confiance et en assurance. Elle se montre même très affectueuse avec les personnes qui s’occupent d’elle. Aussi, elle vient désormais plus facilement au contact des personnes qu’elle connaît moins (surtout s’il y a une friandise). Elle a, en fait, simplement besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance. Il se peut qu’elle se sente parfois moins à l’aise avec certaines personnes ou inconnus. Un foyer sans jeunes enfants serait plus judicieux. Le travail de sociabilisation aux humains sera à poursuivre après l’adoption. Pour la jolie Nikita nous recherchons idéalement des personnes ayant déjà de l’expérience ou des connaissances en éducation canine. Tout le rôle de son futur adoptant sera de savoir lui poser un cadre éducatif tout en la mettant en confiance. Nikita est une chienne de deuxième catégorie. Cela implique de devoir la tenir en laisse et muselée sur la voie publique, dans les lieux publics ainsi que dans les transports en commun. Pour pouvoir adopter Nikita, il faudra avoir une attestation d’aptitude chien de catégorie ainsi qu’une assurance responsabilité civile chien de catégorie 2. L’adoptant devra également prévoir de faire une demande de délivrance de permis de détention auprès de la commune au sein de laquelle il réside.

About Nikita

What life with Nikita looks like

Nikita is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nikita, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nikita?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nikita on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nikita if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) 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 Nikita 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 Nikita 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 de Bordeaux et du Sud-Ouest (SPA 33) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nikita 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.
