How do I contact the shelter about ROXY?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA 65 Tarbes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ROXY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ROXY if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA 65 Tarbes 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 ROXY 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 ROXY 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 65 Tarbes early rather than rehoming privately; they know ROXY 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.

ROXY

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 6 years

Arrived on November 3, 2023, the beautiful ROXY is up for adoption! Adopted in 2021, it's back to square one for him due to neighborhood conflicts. Indeed, with an improperly fenced area, ROXY had gotten into the habit of bothering the neighbors' animals. ROXY is a gentle dog, very affectionate. He knows some basic training that will need to be reinforced. Energetic and always in a good mood, ROXY will never say no to a walk. Socially inclined, if his future family already has one or more ROXY of the same species, a meeting must still take place to confirm compatibility. However, no cohabitation is possible with our feline friends, as well as with chickens and rabbits. As you can see, a well-fenced yard will be absolutely necessary to welcome ROXY in good conditions. ROXY would undoubtedly bring joy to both young and old, so don't wait any longer and come meet him: you won't be disappointed!!

About ROXY

What life with ROXY looks like

ROXY is a large adult border collie dog waiting at SPA 65 Tarbes in Tarbes.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
