RHAPSODY

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Last updated: July 16. RHAPSODY is a 6-year-old Creole sheepdog, born on June 24, 2020, microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed. She weighs around thirty kilograms, though her ideal weight is estimated to be closer to 25 kg. She was entrusted to us because her family environment no longer suited her. She used to live with horses, a cat, and a pig, and she’s not compatible with them: as a true shepherd who controls movement, she would try to get them moving and chase after them—behavior that couldn’t be properly managed. Additionally, she exhibits resource guarding behavior toward food, which made her unsuitable for households with young children. RHAPSODY is an adorable little dog, very close to humans and absolutely loves cuddles. Aside from the presence of food, she has no issues at all with children and could live happily with them—as long as the children are old enough to be careful not to leave anything lying around. This issue can also be addressed with a behavioral trainer whom we’ll recommend to you. RHAPSODY gets along well with other dogs and previously lived without any problems alongside three French bulldogs—a male and two females. At the moment, she’s sharing her home with CHURRO, who is also available for adoption. She’s very pleasant and calm during walks and can easily be let off-leash once a bond has been established. She’s comfortable being left alone for a few hours. She lets everyone handle her without any trouble, including the veterinarian. She travels very well by car. If you’re interested in adopting her, please send us the adoption form: Click here to access the online adoption form. We’ll get back to you promptly. Thank you for contacting us beforehand by phone or email.

Le petit Journal Dernière mise à jour : 12 oct. RHAPSODY est une berger créole de 6 ans, née le 24 juin 2020, pucée, vaccinée et stérilisée. Elle pèse une trentaine de kilos, mais on estime plutôt son poids de forme autour de 25 kg. Elle nous a été confiée car elle n'était pas compatible avec le chat et le cochon de la famille. RHAPSODY est une perle : c'est une adorable louloute, très proche de l'humain, qui adore les câlins. Elle pourra vivre avec de grands enfants. Il faudra juste faire attention à ne pas laisser traîner de nourriture, car elle est très gourmande. RHAPSODY est sociable avec les autres chiens, et vivait avec trois bouledogues français, un mâle et deux femelles, sans souci. Elle a partagé son enclos avec de nombreux chiens depuis son arrivée, et tout se passe bien. Elle est très agréable et calme en balade, et pourra facilement être détachée une fois le lien créé. Elle est à la fois tranquille et endurante. Elle est également très à l'aise avec les balades en ville, elle n'a aucune crainte. Elle sait rester seule quelques heures. Elle se laisse manipuler sans problème par tout le monde, y compris le vétérinaire. Elle voyage très bien en voiture.

About RHAPSODY

What life with RHAPSODY looks like

RHAPSODY is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Animaux 78 in sos animaux 78.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting RHAPSODY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about RHAPSODY?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SOS Animaux 78 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw RHAPSODY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt RHAPSODY if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SOS Animaux 78 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 RHAPSODY 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 RHAPSODY 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 SOS Animaux 78 early rather than rehoming privately; they know RHAPSODY 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.
