SOUPE

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 4 years

Soupe arrived at our shelter following an investigation for abuse. She has not known life in a home. Despite her past, Soupe is a very human-oriented dog once she trusts! She is sociable with her peers and having another dog already present in the household would be a plus. Soupe is energetic and will need daily walks to maintain her balance. Her ideal home would be a house in the countryside. She can live with older children.

Soupe est arrivé chez nous suite à une enquête pour maltraitance. Elle n'a pas connue la vie en maison. Malgré son passé, Soupe est une chienne très proche de l'humain une fois en confiance ! Elle est sociable avec ses congénères et un chien déjà présent dans le foyer serait un plus. Soupe est dynamique et aura besoin de balades quotidiennes pour son équilibre. Son foyer idéal sera une maison en campagne. Elle pourra vivre avec de grands enfants.

About SOUPE

What life with SOUPE looks like

SOUPE is a adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Tours (Luynes) in Tours.

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 SOUPE, answered.

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