Patty

Female · Adult · 6 years

Patty is a beautiful mixed-breed boxer dog born in January 2020. She is full of energy and life, so she can be a bit rough, but this simply reflects her dynamism and joy of being with us. Indeed, she is very close to humans when she feels confident: she loves to be pampered, play with her, and take her on beautiful walks through the woods. In short, she needs to share beautiful moments of complicity and will return it to you as she overflows with love to give. Introductions with our kind Patty will have to be made in the company of our animal agents or volunteers who know her well to put her at ease. The compatibility with cats is unknown and that with dogs seems bad. She is adorable, terribly endearing and very greedy! Patty has her whole life ahead of her to start a new life and we are convinced that once in the right home she will finally find peace, she who only asks to be loved. A family without young children would be more suitable.

About Patty

What life with Patty looks like

Patty is an adult dog waiting at S.P.A. du pays de Montbéliard — Refuge d 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Patty, answered.

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