Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

PIP (F) 2 years - for adoption via BorderLineCollie Characteristics Date of birth: 17/07/2021 Sex: Female Registered with LOF/LOSH/ISDS: No Disabilities: No Child compatibility: yes, from 12 years old Dog compatibility: yes Cat compatibility: yes, if these cats are used to dogs Other compatibility: unknown Character Pip has been in foster care with me for more than a year and has gone from a very difficult puppy to a very kind lady, always happy and full of character. I would like to first clarify that she has never shown the slightest form of aggression towards me! I don't want to minimize the biting incident when she was 5 months old, but I suppose it was an incident. Nevertheless, we don't place her with young children just to be on the safe side. Pip knows basic commands and has a fairly good recall. She listens well, except for the few times when she has bananas in her ears. If you expect unconditional obedience from a dog, Pip is not for you: servile obedience does not fit her character. Patience is a virtue, they say, but it's something that is not in Pip's vocabulary. She lives with me in a pack and Madame thinks she should always be helped first. Otherwise, she clearly shows her dissatisfaction about this. For example, her plastic crate slides from one side of the room to the other. All of this is accompanied by the necessary noise and also vocal! Of course, we are working on it, but it turns out difficult to unteach her. So Pip is familiar with a crate, she can be left alone at home without any problems and loves going in the car. She walks well on a leash and has no tendency to chase other vehicles. Visitors are greeted with barking, but if you indicate that they are "good people," she stops immediately and greets the visitors in her enthusiastic way. She is certainly enthusiastic with every form of attention she receives. Unfortunately, this is accompanied by small puddles of urine. Attempts to control this have failed so far. Approaching her calmly without too much agitation works better. We assume she will get through it with time. Pip can live with cats if they are used to dogs. Living with other dogs is also not a problem, but I don't think it's wise to place her with another demanding female dog. We expect this to cause problems in the future. Soft-tempered female dogs also seem not to be the best combination with her: the other dog will be completely overshadowed by Pip. What kind of forever home are we looking for for Pip? For this spicy little one, we are looking for adopters who can handle a dog with a spicy character. It is absolutely necessary that her new owners look for a sport in which she can release her energy. A stable male as a playmate would be fantastic, because Pip loves to let off steam. History BorderLineCollie took Pip from another rehoming association where she was in a shelter. As a puppy, she was bought by a family with 2 children aged 5 and 7 years. At first, the training went well, but after about 3 months, Pip began to show more and more behavioral problems. They immediately contacted a behavior specialist. After Pip bit the 7-year-old girl on the calf when she ran away, they lost all trust in her and abandoned her.

PIP (F) 2 ans – pour adoption via BorderLineCollie Caractéristiques Date de naissance: 17/07/2021 Sexe: Femelle Inscrit au LOF/LOSH/ISDS: Non Handicaps: Non Entente enfants: oui, à partir de 12 ans Entente chiens: oui Entente chats: oui, si ces chats sont habitués aux chiens Entente autre: non connu CaractèrePip est maintenant en FA avec moi depuis plus d'un an et est passée d'un chiot très difficile à une dame très gentille, toujours heureuse et pleine de caractère. Je tiens tout d'abord à préciser qu'elle n'a jamais manifesté la moindre forme d'agressivité à mon égard! Je ne veux pas minimiser l'incident de morsure quand elle avait 5 mois, mais je suppose que c'était un incident. Néanmoins, nous ne la plaçons pas avec de jeunes enfants justes pour être du bon côté. Pip connaît les commandes de base et a un assez bon rappel. Elle écoute bien, sauf les quelques fois où elle a des bananes dans les oreilles. Si vous attendez d'un chien une obéissance inconditionnelle, Pip n'est pas pour vous : la docilité servile ne correspond pas à son caractère. La patience est une vertu, dit-on toujours, mais c'est quelque chose qui n'est pas dans le vocabulaire de Pip. Elle vit avec moi dans une meute et madame pense qu'elle devrait toujours être aidée en premier. Sinon, elle montre clairement son mécontentement à ce sujet. Par exemple, sa cage en plastique glisse d'un côté à l'autre de la chambre. Tout cela s'accompagne du bruit nécessaire et aussi vocal ! Bien sûr, nous y travaillons, mais il s'avère difficile de la désapprendre. Alors Pip est familière avec un cage, elle peut rester seule à la maison sans aucun problème et aime aller en voiture. Elle marche bien en laisse et n'a pas tendance de garder des autres véhicules. Les visiteurs sont accueillis par des aboiements, mais si vous indiquez qu'ils sont de "bonnes personnes", elle s'arrête également immédiatement et salue les visiteurs à sa manière enthousiaste. Elle est certainement enthousiaste avec chaque forme d'attention qu'elle reçoit. Malheureusement, cela s'accompagne de petites flaques d'urine. Les tentatives pour contrôler cela a jusqu'à présent échoué. L'approcher calmement sans trop d'agitation fonctionne mieux. Nous supposons qu'elle s'en sortira avec le temps. Pip peut vivre avec des chats s'ils sont habitués à un chien. Vivre avec d'autres chiens n'est pas non plus un problème, mais je ne pense pas qu'il soit judicieux de la placer avec une autre chienne capricieuse. Je m'attends à ce que cela cause des problèmes à l'avenir. Les chiennes douces ne semblent pas non plus être la meilleure combinaison avec elle : l'autre chien sera complètement éclipsé par Pip. Quel genre de foyer pour toujours cherchons-nous pour Pip ? Pour cette épice-ne-me-remuez-pas nous recherchons des adoptants pouvant gérer un chien au caractère épicé. Il faut absolument que ses nouveaux propriétaires recherchent un sport dans lequel elle puisse libérer son énergie. Un mâle stable comme compagnon de jeu serait fantastique, car Pip adore se défouler. HistoireBorderLineCollie a repris Pip d'une autre association de relogement où elle était en refuge. En tant que chiot, elle a été achetée par une famille avec 2 enfants âgés de 5 et 7 ans. Au début, l'éducation s'est bien passée, mais après environ 3 mois, Pip a commencé à montrer de plus en plus de problèmes de comportement. Ils ont immédiatement fait appel à un spécialiste du comportement. Après que Pip a eu mordu la fille de 7 ans au mollet lorsqu'elle s'est enfuie, ils ont perdu toute confiance en elle et l'ont abandonnée.

About PIP

What life with PIP looks like

PIP is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Border Line Collie in borderlinecollie.

An young 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 PIP, answered.

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