PATE

Border Collie · Male · Senior · 9 years

Descriptif :PATE a été abandonné en raison d’un changement de situation familiale. Au refuge, il se montre très gentil, câlin et joueur. Il a de bonnes bases d’éducation, comme la propreté, la solitude et les ordres de base, mais certains apprentissages pourront être à reprendre. Son entente avec les chiens est inconnue ; si vous en avez un, une rencontre entre les deux pourra être organisée. Il semble s’entendre avec les chats. Il pourra rejoindre un foyer avec des enfants. Malgré son âge, PATE se montre encore très dynamique, il aura donc besoin d’adoptants actifs et prêts à répondre à ses besoins physiques et mentaux. Le placement en maison ou en appartement sera étudié en fonction du profil des adoptants.

About PATE

What life with PATE looks like

PATE is a senior border collie dog waiting at SPA de Lyon et du Sud-Est 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.

🇫🇷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 PATE, answered.

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