Adopt Unou

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Unou is a very affectionate and attentive dog. She has been paralyzed from the rear since birth, which is why she was abandoned as a baby... She grew up in a shelter, so some things from the outside world still scare her a bit (like strangers who stare at her too intensely), but Unou is very intelligent and eager to learn! Unou is paralyzed, yes, but that doesn't stop her: madame manages to live life to the fullest! She just needs a cart to move around during her outings to avoid hurting herself, but the rest of the time, she moves around very well on her own. She loves to play, sniff around, run, and... shake her towel after her evening bath! You get the idea: Unou is really a super dog, full of love. So come meet her and you won't fail to be charmed by her!

Elle est paralysée du train arrière depuis sa naissance, raison pour laquelle elle a été abandonnée lorsqu'elle n'était qu'un bébé… Elle a grandi en refuge, donc certaines choses du monde extérieur lui font un peu peur (comme les inconnus qui la fixent trop intensément) mais Unou es très intelligente et a soif d'apprendre ! Unou est paralysée, oui, mais qu'à cela ne tienne : madame se débrouille comme une cheffe et croque la vie à pleines dents ! Elle a simplement besoin d’un chariot pour se mouvoir lors de ses sorties afin de ne pas se blesser, mais le reste du temps, elle se déplace très bien sans. Elle adore jouer, renifler, courir et... secouer sa serviette après la douche le soir ! Vous l'aurez compris : Unou est vraiment une super chienne, pleine d'amour. Alors venez la rencontrer et vous tomberez sans aucun doute sous son charme !

About Unou

What life with Unou looks like

Unou is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Haute-Marne) in Voillecomte.

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.

Note from the shelter: Paralyzed hind legs from birth, requires mobility cart for outdoor walks

🇫🇷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 Unou, answered.

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