Adopt STELLA

Border Collie · Female

STELLA is a 1-year-old sensitive female dog. She is still learning about life and needs a stable, kind environment and people who can accompany her with patience and consistency. Very receptive to her surroundings, STELLA can be impressed by new things and unfamiliar situations. She will therefore need time to gain confidence and a reassuring framework where she can progress at her own pace. She is an intelligent, affectionate dog who will thrive fully with experienced people or those willing to be guided, and who can offer her clear and secure boundaries. With consistency and understanding, STELLA will become a close companion to her humans.

C’est une chienne intelligente, attachante, qui s’épanouira pleinement auprès de personnes expérimentées ou prêtes à se faire accompagner, et capables de lui offrir des repères clairs et sécurisants. Avec de la constance et de la compréhension, Stella deviendra une compagne proche de ses humains.

About STELLA

What life with STELLA looks like

STELLA is a adult border collie dog waiting at Jean Leriche) in Moree.

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. Jean Leriche) 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 — Jean Leriche) 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 Jean Leriche) 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.
