Adopt PIXIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Pixie arrived at our shelter in November 2024 via the pound, and we know very little about her past. Pixie is a very cute dog at our area! She's a lively, dynamic pup who would appreciate a family with the same energy to share beautiful walks together. She's also a cuddly and affectionate dog who will enjoy tender moments by your side. Pixie is also a little thief who ADORES sticks... Pixie is a big player! She would appreciate living in a house or an apartment with minimal absences but in a rural setting. Pixie is a pleasant dog but she needs time to build trust. She doesn't seem to communicate much with other dogs during walks, but we don't know her interactions.

Pixie est arrivée en Novembre 2024 au refuge via la fourrière, nous ne connaissons donc pas grand chose à son passé. Pixie est une chienne très mignonne chez nous ! C'est une louloute active, dynamique qui appréciera d'avoir une famille avec la même énergie pour partager de belles balades ensemble. C'est aussi une chienne câline et affectueuse car appréciera les moments de tendresse à vos côtés. Pixie est aussi une petite chipie qui ADORE les bâtons... Pixie est une grande joueuse ! C'est une chienne qui appréciera de vivre en maison ou en appartement si peu d'absence mais dans un milieu rurale. Pixie est une chienne agréable mais il faut qu'elle prenne le temps de faire confiance. Elle ne semble rien dire aux autres chiens durant les balades mais nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes.

About PIXIE

What life with PIXIE looks like

PIXIE is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Orgeval in Orgeval.

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 PIXIE, answered.

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