Adopt Tess

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Tess is a lovely mixed breed dog who arrived at the shelter through a transfer from a pound. Unfortunately, we know nothing about her past, but one thing is certain: she is full of kindness and affection. Always happy to see us, Tess greets every moment with enthusiasm and good humor. She is playful, social, and very close to humans; she enjoys company and actively seeks out cuddles and playtime. She is also quite a food lover, which will help with her training and further strengthen the bond with her future family. At the shelter, Tess is clean in her enclosure and does not seem destructive. She gets along well with other dogs and can live with respectful children. Regarding cats, we are not yet sure about her compatibility. In terms of health, Tess had a mass removed from a front leg. A histological analysis is currently underway to learn more.

Tess est une adorable croisée berger arrivée au refuge suite à un transfert de fourrière. Nous ne connaissons rien de son passé, mais une chose est certaine : elle déborde de gentillesse et d’affection. Toujours heureuse de nous voir, Tess accueille chaque moment avec enthousiasme et bonne humeur. Joueuse, sociable et très proche de l’humain, elle apprécie la compagnie et recherche les câlins comme les moments de jeu. C’est aussi une grande gourmande, ce qui pourra faciliter son éducation et renforcer encore davantage la complicité avec sa future famille. Au refuge, Tess se montre propre dans son box et ne semble pas destructrice. Elle s’entend bien avec les autres chiens et pourra vivre avec des enfants respectueux. Concernant les chats, nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes. Côté santé, Tess a subi le retrait d’une masse sur une patte avant. Une analyse histologique est actuellement en cours afin d’en savoir plus.

About Tess

What life with Tess looks like

Tess is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Amiens) in Poulainville.

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 Tess, answered.

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