Roxanne

Female · Young · 1 year

Roxanne Roxanne arrived at the shelter, she lived in a pack with someone who was overwhelmed by the number of dogs. Despite this difficult start in life, she is quite dynamic, curious and full of energy. Still young, everything needs to be learned: walking on a leash, basic education and discovering the world. ROXANNE can be distant at first. She will need a patient and caring home, ready to accompany her in her learning and offer her a secure environment. Roxanne gets along with her peers. Her compatibility with cats remains to be tested.

ROXANNE ROXANNE est arrivée au refuge, elle vivait en meute chez une personne qui s’est laissée déborder par le nombre de chiens. Malgré ce début de vie difficile, elle se montre assez dynamique, curieuse et plein d’énergie. Encore jeune, tout est à apprendre : la marche en laisse, les bases de l’éducation et la découverte du monde. ROXANNE peut se montrer distante au début. Elle aura besoin d’un foyer patient et bienveillant, prêt à l’accompagner dans son apprentissage et à lui offrir un cadre sécurisant. ROXANNE s’entend avec ses congénères. Son entente avec les chats reste à tester.

About Roxanne

What life with Roxanne looks like

Roxanne is a young adult dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

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 Roxanne, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roxanne?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Roxanne on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roxanne if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Roxanne 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 Roxanne 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roxanne 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.
