Pitchoune

Basset Hound · Female · Adult · 7 years

Pitchoune arrived at the shelter following the death of her owner. She is a very affectionate, gentle, and calm dog who particularly enjoys human company. Very close to the people who care for her, she seeks a lot of affection and presence. Due to her strong attachment to humans, Pitchoune may show some separation anxiety. A available and patient family will help her regain her bearings and flourish serenely. Pitchoune gets along well with her fellow dogs.

PITCHOUNE Pitchoune est arrivée au refuge à la suite du décès de son propriétaire. C’est une chienne très câline, douce et calme, qui apprécie particulièrement la compagnie de l’humain. Très proche des personnes qui prennent soin d’elle, elle recherche beaucoup d’affection et de présence. En raison de son fort attachement à l’humain, Pitchoune pourrait présenter un peu d’anxiété de séparation. Une famille disponible et patiente l’aidera à retrouver ses repères et à s’épanouir sereinement. Pitchoune s’entend bien avec ses congénères.

About Pitchoune

What life with Pitchoune looks like

Pitchoune is a adult basset hound dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pitchoune, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pitchoune?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pitchoune on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pitchoune if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Pitchoune 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 Pitchoune 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pitchoune 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.
