UNA

Australian Shepherd · Female · Young · 2 years

Una is a female dog found on public roads. Her past is completely unknown to us, and we are still getting to know her. She’s a dog full of energy, whose training will need to be further reinforced. Greedy for food and affectionate toward humans, Una enjoys moments of close companionship with the people she interacts with. With a sturdy build and good physical strength, she’ll be looking for a family that can guide her consistently, patiently, and with kindness. Una does not tolerate other dogs. As for cats and children, we’re not yet sure how she gets along with them. We continue to discover her personality day by day and hope to find a family willing to commit long-term to being by her side.

FR·Show original

Una est une chienne trouvée sur la voie publique. Son passé nous est totalement inconnu et nous apprenons encore à la connaître. C'est une chienne encore pleine d'énergie, dont l'éducation devra être consolidée. Gourmande et affectueuse avec les humains, Una apprécie les moments de complicité avec les personnes qu'elle côtoie. Dotée d'un gabarit puissant et d'une bonne force physique, elle recherchera une famille capable de la guider avec cohérence, patience et bienveillance. Una ne tolère pas les autres chiens. Concernant les chats et les enfants, nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes. Nous continuons à découvrir sa personnalité au fil des jours et espérons lui trouver une famille prête à s'investir durablement à ses côtés.

About UNA

What life with UNA looks like

UNA is a young adult australian shepherd dog waiting at SPA Sarreguemines in Sarreguemines.

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 UNA, answered.

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