Adopt NOUKI

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 5 years

NOUKI is a large dog brimming with energy and affection, ready to discover the wonderful life he deserves after a difficult start. Having overcome moments of neglect from his previous owners, NOUKI is a hopeful, energetic, and affectionate companion who still has much to learn. Ideal for a family with at least another dog of his size, he will thrive in a home ready to engage in gentle at-home training sessions. NOUKI needs a house with a securely fenced yard, located in a quiet environment without young children, where he can enjoy peace and space to play and grow with confidence. Are you ready to offer NOUKI the loving and secure home he has been eagerly awaiting?

Read original (fr)

Nouki est un grand chien débordant de dynamisme et d’affection, prêt à découvrir la belle vie qu’il mérite après un début de vie difficile. Ayant surmontée des moments de négligence de la part de ses anciens propriétaires, Nouki est un compagnon plein d’espoir, énergique, et affectueux, qui a encore beaucoup à apprendre. Idéal, pour une famille avec au moins un autre chien de son gabarit, il s’épanouira dans un foyer prêt à s’engager dans des séances d’éducation à domicile bienveillantes. Nouki a besoin d’une maison avec un jardin clos, située dans un environnement calme et sans jeunes enfants, où il pourra profiter de la tranquillité et de l’espace pour jouer et grandir en confiance. Êtes-vous prêt à offrir à Nouki le foyer aimant et sécurisant qu’il attend avec impatience ?

About NOUKI

What life with NOUKI looks like

NOUKI is a large adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Aix-en-Provence in Aix.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Requires home training sessions, needs calm environment, history of neglect

🇫🇷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 NOUKI, answered.

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