Adopt Stella

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 4 years

Stella arrived at the shelter after being abandoned by her family. Our lovely Stella is a gentle and adorable dog very close to humans, though a bit timid when she doesn't know someone. She loves cuddles and petting. Stella is an irresistible little dog who loves to play, there's no time to get bored with this adorable louloute! She is dynamic, so she requires a family that can satisfy her need for physical activity. Daily walks will therefore be essential to channel all her energy. Stella will bring a lot of happiness and joy to her future family. She is a little ray of sunshine our Stella. She will need a house with a fenced yard because she loves to go on adventures to discover the world, the coquette. She seems to get along well with cats and her other animal species, but if she must share her family with another animal of the same species, a prior introduction will be necessary.

Stella est arrivée au refuge à la suite d'un abandon par sa famille. Notre belle Stella est une gentille et adorable chienne très proche de l’humain bien qu'un peu timide lorsqu'elle ne connait pas. Elle aime les câlins et les caresses. Stella est une irrésistible petite chienne qui aime jouer, pas le temps de s'ennuyer avec cette adorable louloute !. Elle est dynamique, elle recherche donc une famille qui saura assouvir son besoin de dépenses physiques. Des balades quotidiennes seront donc indispensables pour canaliser toute son énergie. Stella apportera beaucoup de bonheur et de joie à sa future famille. C’est un petit rayon de soleil notre Stella. Il lui faudra une maison avec un terrain clôturé car elle aime partir à l'aventure pour découvrir le monde, la coquine. A priori elle s'entend bien avec les chats et ses congénères mais si elle doit partager sa famille avec un congénère il faudra une présentation au préalable.

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a small adult border collie dog waiting at 30 Millions d'Amis in Paris.

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 Stella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 30 Millions d'Amis handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Stella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Stella if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 30 Millions d'Amis 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 Stella 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 Stella 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 30 Millions d'Amis early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stella 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.
