TRALALA

Border Collie · Female · Young · 3 years

Tralala is a timid dog who has known only a life of misery. She is a little girl who needs time to gain confidence. A home in a country house will be essential. We will avoid young children as it would be too stressful for her. In a house, she is a very calm dog who is discreet, clean, and non-destructive. Tralala, however, has heart problems, a veterinary budget will need to be planned.

FR·Show original

Tralala est une chienne craintive qui n'a connu qu'une vie de misère. C'est une louloute qui a besoin de prendre du temps pour être en confiance. Un foyer en maison de campagne sera indispensable. Nous éviterons les jeunes enfants car cela serait trop stressant pour elle. En maison c'est une chienne très calme qui se montre discrète, propre, et non destructrice. Tralala a cependant des troubles cardiaques, un budget vétérinaire sera à prévoir.

About TRALALA

What life with TRALALA looks like

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

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 TRALALA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TRALALA?
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 TRALALA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TRALALA 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 TRALALA 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 TRALALA 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 TRALALA 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.
