Adopt Salto

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 5 years

Salto is a wonderful 5-year-old Border Collie, arrived at the shelter after being abandoned with her friend Ina. Behind his lively gaze lies a loving, intelligent dog who is close to humans. Quite energetic, Salto will need an active and present family, ready to offer him nice walks, playtime and companionship every day. He already has very good basic training, which makes him pleasant to live with and attentive to his surroundings. Friendly with other animals of the same species, Salto can live with another dog after an individual introduction to ensure that each finds their place peacefully. Like many abandoned dogs, Salto deserves to find stability and love in a real home today. Adopting Salto is offering a second chance to a young dog, full of qualities, ready to share a beautiful life adventure with kind humans.

Salto est un magnifique Border Collie de 5 ans, arrivé au refuge suite à un abandon avec sa copine Ina. Derrière son regard plein de vie se cache un chien affectueux, intelligent et proche de l’humain. Assez dynamique, Salto aura besoin d’une famille active et présente, prête à lui offrir de belles balades, des moments de jeu et de complicité au quotidien. C’est un chien qui possède déjà de très bonnes bases d’éducation, ce qui le rend agréable à vivre et attentif à son entourage. Sociable avec ses congénères, Salto pourra vivre avec un autre chien après une présentation réalisée au cas par cas afin de s’assurer que chacun trouve sa place sereinement. Comme beaucoup de chiens abandonnés, Salto mérite aujourd’hui de retrouver la stabilité et l’amour d’un vrai foyer. Adopter Salto, c’est offrir une seconde chance à un chien encore jeune, plein de qualités et prêt à partager une belle aventure de vie avec des humains bienveillants.

About Salto

What life with Salto looks like

Salto is a adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Draguignan (Flayosc) in Draguignan.

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 Salto, answered.

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