Purple

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Purple – K293 Femelle x malinois née le 16/07/2019. Purple est une véritable pépite à découvrir. C'est une adorable chienne qui n'a pas eu la chance de connaître une bonne famille avant d'arriver au refuge. Elle a malheureusement eu peu de stabilité et d'affection. Et pourtant, une fois la confiance installée – c’est-à-dire, dès qu’elle apprend à connaître son humain – elle se montre très attentive et à l’écoute. En promenade, elle ne tire pas la longe, marche calmement à vos côtés et connaît tous les ordres de base. En voiture, elle est sage et voyage sans difficulté. Très affectueuse, Purple aime le contact et les moments de tendresse. Au refuge, elle s’entend bien avec les autres chiens, ce qui fait d’elle une compagne agréable et équilibrée. Il est vraiment temps que la vie de Purple change enfin et qu'on la considère pour ce que qu'elle est vraiment : une chienne exceptionnelle pour qui sait l'approcher en douceur. Venez la rencontrer et offrez-lui enfin la vie douce et aimante qu’elle mérite.

About Purple

What life with Purple looks like

Purple is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at SCPA Carcassonne in Carcassonne.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Purple, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Purple?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SCPA Carcassonne handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Purple on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Purple if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SCPA Carcassonne 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Purple 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 Purple 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 SCPA Carcassonne early rather than rehoming privately; they know Purple 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.
