Adopt Romy( EN COURS D'ADOPTION)

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 6 years

Young mom, Romy arrived at our shelter not too long ago. Living in sad conditions previously, she unfortunately didn't have much contact with humans. Shy and reserved at first, she is however rather eager during socialization sessions. When she feels comfortable, she is affectionate and just wants attention. She still needs to learn all the basics of training and will therefore need a patient and available family, giving her all the time she needs to help her evolve and regain trust in humans. Don't wait any longer, come quickly to meet her!

Jeune maman, Romy est arrivée chez nous il y a peu . Vivant auparavant dans de tristes conditions elle n'a malheureusement pas eu beaucoup de contact avec l'humain. Craintive et sur la réserve au départ, elle est cependant plutôt volontaire lors des séances de sociabilisation, lorsqu'elle est en confiance elle se montre câline et ne demande que de l'attention. Elle a encore besoin d'apprendre toutes les bases d'éducation et aura donc besoin d'une famille disponible et patiente, lui accordant tout le temps nécessaire pour l'aider à évoluer et à reprendre confiance en l'homme. N'attendez plus, venez vite la rencontrer !

What life with Romy( EN COURS D'ADOPTION) looks like

Frequently asked

Adopting Romy( EN COURS D'ADOPTION), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Romy( EN COURS D'ADOPTION)?

Can I adopt Romy( EN COURS D'ADOPTION) 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 Romy( EN COURS D'ADOPTION) 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 Romy( EN COURS D'ADOPTION) 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 Romy( EN COURS D'ADOPTION) 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.
