Adopt Smoothie

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hi, my name is Smoothie, or Smooth for close ones. I'm a small mixed breed who's very speedy and sweet. My passion is running everywhere! At first, I might seem shy, but once I get to know the person in front of me, I'm very affectionate. I won't be placed with young children because I love to grab sleeves in excitement, but I always remain gentle. My caretakers haven't figured out my likes yet, but tests are possible at the shelter! See you soon for a meet-and-greet!

Je peux sembler timide au premier abord mais une fois que je connais l'humain en face de moi je suis très affectueuse ! On ne me placera pas avec de jeunes enfants parce que j'aime bien attraper les manches dans l'excitation mais je reste toujours gentille. Mes soigneurs ne connaissent pas encore mes ententes mais des tests sont possibles au refuge ! Je vous dis à très bientôt pour une rencontre !

About Smoothie

What life with Smoothie looks like

Smoothie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at LPA Nord de la France in Lille.

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 Smoothie, answered.

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