Saba

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 6 years

Mon histoire : Saba est une petite Chihuahua qui fêtera ses 5 ans à la mi-juillet.Elle est arrivée à l’association suite à un arrêt d’activité d’élevage. Mon caractère : Très craintive, Saba aura besoin de temps, de patience et de beaucoup de douceur pour apprendre à faire confiance. Peu sociabilisée, elle découvre progressivement le monde qui l’entoure et a encore tout à apprendre.Elle connaît très peu la marche en laisse et toute son éducation est à construire avec bienveillance.Saba s’entend très bien avec les autres chiens et peut également vivre avec des chats. Une fois à l’aise, elle peut toutefois avoir un petit caractère et faire sa cheffe avec ses compagnons. J'aime / J'aime pas : Un foyer sans jeunes enfants sera privilégié, car leur présence risquerait de la mettre mal à l’aise.Si la famille dispose d’un jardin, celui-ci devra être entièrement clôturé, car Saba pourrait prendre la fuite si quelque chose lui fait peur.Les friandises sont un excellent moyen de gagner sa confiance et de créer un lien avec elle. Une fois rassurée, Saba apprécie énormément son petit confort, les caresses et les moments de tendresse. Elle adore également venir se blottir dans les bras de son humain pour profiter d’un instant de douceur.Sous ses airs réservés se cache une petite chienne sensible qui, avec du temps, de la patience et beaucoup d’amour, deviendra une compagne très attachante.

About Saba

What life with Saba looks like

Saba is a adult chihuahua dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Saba, answered.

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