How do I contact the shelter about Orla?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Chow au Coeur handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Orla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Orla if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Chow au Coeur 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 Orla 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 Orla 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 Chow au Coeur early rather than rehoming privately; they know Orla 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.

Orla

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

April 12: I am now in foster care with Sandrine, with my companion Tess. At Chouchou and Béné's. March 12: Arrival at Chowpôle with Li-Yang and Orla. Are they so inseparable that they will be adopted together? Answer: No. March 11: A quick vet check for our two chow chows: 25.5 kg and 25.8 kg. March 9: Orla, the 8-year-old female, needs to be spayed, have a palatal flap operation, and possibly have an old entropion operation corrected. She is extremely affectionate, joyful, and even a little clown. Ly-Yang, at 10.5 years old, will be neutered and likely have his entropions operated on. He is just as affectionate but more mature than Miss Orla. They can be adopted separately, without a cat for Miss Orla. They are not yet adoptable, but if you've fallen for these two chows, you can already fill out your adoption application form for the day they are ready! This happens here!. Not suitable for homes with cats.

About Orla

What life with Orla looks like

Orla is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Chow au Coeur in chow au coeur.

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.
