RAISIN

Border Collie · Male · Young · 1 year

Raisin is a young, affectionate dog. He’ll need all his training from scratch. He’ll appreciate having a comfortable living environment. He can tolerate some solitude if he gets enough exercise outdoors. We’ll need to teach him how to manage his emotions; therefore, we’ll avoid placing him with young children.

About RAISIN

What life with RAISIN looks like

RAISIN is a young adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

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 RAISIN, answered.

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