Sadie est arrivée au refuge à la suite d’une cession dans le cadre d’une enquête, après avoir vécu avec près d’une centaine d’autres chiens dans de très mauvaises conditions. Elle doit aujourd’hui découvrir la vie de famille : marche en laisse, propreté, solitude, bruits du quotidien… Beaucoup de choses lui sont encore inconnues. Elle aura besoin d’une famille patiente, douce et bienveillante, prête à avancer à son rythme, sans jamais la brusquer. Derrière sa timidité se cache une chienne attachante. Une fois en confiance, Sadie se montre gourmande et affectueuse et apprécie les marques d’attention. La présence d’un chien équilibré serait un vrai plus pour l’aider à prendre confiance. Sadie pourra également vivre avec des enfants respectueux. Sadie souffre d'une malformation cardiaque, elle aura un traitement a prendre toute sa vie matin et soir, le cout du traitement s'élève a une centaine d'euros par mois.

About Sadie

What life with Sadie looks like

Sadie is an adult dog waiting at Amiens) in Poulainville.

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 Sadie, answered.

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