Adopt Princesse

Basset Hound · Female · Adult · 6 years

Hello I am Princesse, arrived here because I didn't accept spending my days alone. So I used to destroy things. Apart from that, I love humans, young and old. I have some trouble with certain females and we will avoid cats. Training classes would be preferable as I have a lot to learn! (or not everything understood so far 😉 )

Coucou je suis Princesse, arrivée ici car je n'acceptait pas de passer mes journées seules. Du coup il m'arrivait de détruire. En dehors de ça, j'adore les humains, petits et grands. J'ai un peu de mal avec certaines femelles et on évitera les chats. Des cours d'éducation seraient préférable car j'ai tout à apprendre ! (ou pas tout compris jusqu'à présent 😉 )

About Princesse

What life with Princesse looks like

Princesse is a medium-sized adult basset hound dog waiting at Animaux Secours in Lille.

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 Princesse, answered.

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