Quebec

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Male Age: approximately February 2024 (estimated) Size: medium (estimated) Arrival date at shelter: July 2024 Neutered: yes Vaccinated: yes Microchip: yes Compatibility: okay with dogs Temperament: timid Evolution: September 6, 2025: Quebec is doing well. His behavior is improving, but he still needs a safety distance. Despite giving him treats by hand every day, I still can't touch him. He cannot tolerate being touched or even lightly brushed and could bite if his boundaries are not respected. Interacting with unfamiliar people is always very difficult; he barks continuously. With friends he has known for a year now, it takes about 30 minutes to calm down, but they mustn't get up from their chairs otherwise the situation starts again. He gets along well with dogs; he regularly plays with new friends and even if he is shy at first, he quickly gains confidence and enjoys playing. March 2025: According to his foster home: the problem is that Quebec does not let himself be touched or approached, not even by me, except when given food, which he takes in my hand and leaves quickly. A lot of work needs to be done; it will probably be a dog we can never touch; he has been severely traumatized by humans. I spend a lot of time with him every day but there is no progress for the moment. Forcing things doesn't help, I tried gently cornering him in a corner, sitting down and approaching slowly, and he would clearly have bitten me if I had touched him. He will need a lot (a lot) of time. His lip does not bother him at all, nor is being on three legs; it does not prevent him from running like crazy and playing with other dogs. August 26, 2024: According to his foster home: Quebec adapts slowly; the presence of other dogs helps a lot. He is quite timid around humans for now. He can be close to us but we cannot touch him. Timid upon arrival (August 2024) History: Collected in a terrible state, with part of his lip missing/exploded and disabled on one front leg; he has been amputated.

Sexe : mâle Âge : né environ en février 2024 (date estimée approximative) Taille : moyenne (estimation) Date d'arrivée au refuge : juillet 2024 Castré : oui Vacciné : oui Pucé : oui Ententes : ok chiens Caractère : craintif Evolution : 6 septembre 2025 : Quebec va bien. Niveau comportement, ça va de mieux en mieux, mais il lui faut toujours une distance de sécurité. Malgré que je lui donne tous les jours des friandises à la main, je ne peux toujours pas le toucher. Il ne supporte vraiment pas qu'on le touche, même juste l'effleurer, il pourrait mordre sans hésiter si on ne respecte pas ses limites. Avec les personnes inconnues c'est toujours très compliqué, il aboie en continu. Avec mes amis qu'il connaît maintenant depuis un an, il lui faut environ 30 mn pour se calmer, mais il ne faut pas qu'ils se lèvent de leurs chaises sinon c'est reparti. Avec les chiens, aucun souci, il voit régulièrement de nouveaux copains et même s'il est assez timide au début, il prend vite confiance et aime beaucoup jouer. Mars 2025 : selon sa FA : le problème c'est que malheureusement Québec ne se laisse pas toucher, ni même approcher même part moi même, appart avec de la nourriture, il prend dans la main et part vite. Il y a un très gros travail à faire et ce sera probablement un chien qu'on ne pourra jamais toucher, il est vraiment traumatisé des humains. Je passe beaucoup de temps avec lui tous les jours mais il n'y a pas vraiment de progrès pour le moment. Forcer les choses ne sert a rien, j'ai essayé gentiment en le coinçant dans un coin, en me mettant assis et en me rapprochant tranquillement et il m'aurait clairement mordu si je l'avais touché. Il va lui falloir beaucoup (beaucoup) de temps. Sinon sa babine ne le gêne pas du tout, ni même d'être sur 3 pattes cela ne l'empêche pas de courir comme un fou et de jouer avec les autres chiens. 26 août 2024 : selon sa FA : Quebec s'adapte tranquillement, la présence des autres chiens l'aide beaucoup. Il est assez craintif avec les humains pour le moment. Il peut être proche de nous, mais on ne peut pas le toucher. Craintif à son arrivée (août 2024) Histoire : Recueilli dans un état horrible, avec une partie de la babine manquante / explosée, et handicapé d'une patte avant. Il a été amputé.

About Quebec

What life with Quebec looks like

Quebec is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Remember Me France in France.

An young 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 Quebec, answered.

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