SWIF

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

SWIF is a lively young dog, curious and playful, bringing lots of joy around her. Once she feels secure, she reveals her gentleness and affection, creating beautiful bonds with her humans. SWIF is looking for a patient and kind family ready to accompany her at her own pace. It’s worth noting that she does not get along at all with cats and will therefore need to live in a cat-free home. With love and kindness, SWIF will become a faithful and endearing companion.

FR·Show original

Swif est une jeune chienne pleine d’énergie, curieuse et joueuse, qui apporte beaucoup de joie autour d’elle. Une fois rassurée, elle révèle toute sa douceur et son affection, et crée de beaux liens avec ses humains. Swif recherche une famille patiente et bienveillante, prête à l’accompagner à son rythme. À noter qu’elle ne s’entend pas du tout avec les chats et devra donc vivre dans un foyer sans compagnon félin. Avec de l’amour et de la bienveillance, Swif deviendra une compagne fidèle et attachante.

About SWIF

What life with SWIF looks like

SWIF is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Bouguenais) in Nantes.

An young 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 SWIF, answered.

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