Adopt Nostra

Brittany Spaniel · Female · Adult · 8 years

Nostra, born on May 23, 2017, and her daughter Osiris, born on August 17, 2018, arrived at the shelter from a pound. We do not really know their past, but one thing is certain: these two dogs have always lived mainly outdoors and are still discovering many things about family life. They are two adorable dogs, gentle, intelligent, loyal and very close to humans. Always together, they provide each other with great comfort. Adopting this pair is offering a second chance to two extremely affectionate dogs who finally deserve a peaceful and loving life. Placement together will be prioritized. Temperaments: Ok with dogs. Not ok with cats. Ok with older children who are respectful. Living conditions: A house with a garden is essential.

About Nostra

What life with Nostra looks like

Nostra is a adult brittany spaniel dog waiting at SPA Compiègne in Compiègne.

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 Nostra, answered.

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