Punky

Female · Adult · 7 years

Punky is a small dog who came from the pound, so we don't know much about her past. Having been deprived of care, she had a hard time settling into the shelter and it's still challenging to handle her; socialization work is also needed so she feels comfortable and can rebuild connections. We are therefore looking for a calm home and patient owners who can meet her needs.

FR·Show original

Punky est une petite chienne qui provient de la fourrière, difficile donc de connaître son vécu. Démunie de soins , elle a eu du mal à trouver ses repères au sein du refuge et il est encore compliqué de la manipuler ; un travail de socialisation et également à prévoir afin qu'elle se sente à l'aise et qu'elle apprenne à recréer du lien. Nous attendons donc pour elle un foyer calme, et des propriétaire patients , à l'écoute de ses besoins.

About Punky

What life with Punky looks like

Punky is a adult dog waiting at SPA Perpignan in Perpignan.

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 Punky, answered.

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