How do I contact the shelter about POPPY?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Un Gîte Une Gamelle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw POPPY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt POPPY if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Un Gîte Une Gamelle 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 POPPY 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 POPPY 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 Un Gîte Une Gamelle early rather than rehoming privately; they know POPPY 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.

POPPY

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

🐶💙 POPPY CHERCHE SA FAMILLE POUR LA VIE 💙🐶 ✨ POPPY est né le 01/11/2025. 🐾 Petit croisé terrier d’à peine 4 kg, il est vif, joyeux, craquant… mais c’est aussi un petit chien qui a besoin d’être compris et rassuré. ❤️ 🥺 Nous pensons que Poppy a probablement connu des moments difficiles dans son passé. Il reste donc méfiant dans certaines situations. ⚠️ Lorsqu’il se sent inquiet, notamment quand on le porte ou qu’on le manipule trop rapidement, il peut pincer. Nous préférons être totalement transparents afin de lui trouver LA famille qui lui correspond vraiment. 🙏 🥰 Au refuge, avec nos agents animaliers qu’il connaît et en qui il a confiance, Poppy est joyeux, affectueux et très gentil. Il a simplement besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance. 💕 🏡 Nous recherchons donc pour lui : 🐾 Des personnes patientes et bienveillantes 🐾 Ayant de préférence une certaine connaissance des chiens sensibles ou au caractère un peu compliqué 🐾 Qui sauront respecter son rythme et ne pas le brusquer 🚫 Pas d’enfants en bas âge 💙 Une famille d’accueil dans un premier temps peut également être envisagée afin de découvrir Poppy dans un environnement familial et de suivre son évolution. 🤝 Bien évidemment, nous resterons présents pour accompagner sa famille et assurer un suivi. 🌈 Derrière ses petites réactions de défense se cache un tout petit chien de 4 kg qui mérite lui aussi de connaître la sécurité, la confiance et l’amour d’un vrai foyer. ❤️🐶 🙏 Ne le jugez pas trop vite… donnez-lui simplement la chance de vous montrer qui il est vraiment. 📩 Si vous pensez avoir le profil pour Poppy, contactez-nous par SMS au 🔄 Partagez au maximum pour lui donner sa chance ! 🏡❤️ Une famille pour la vie pour POPPY ! ❤️

About POPPY

What life with POPPY looks like

POPPY is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Un Gîte Une Gamelle in Pollestres.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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.
