venus

Belgian Malinois · Female · Young · 2 years

Cette adorable petite femelle Chihuahua est une chienne calme, douce et gentille. De nature timide, elle aura besoin d’un foyer bienveillant qui saura lui laisser le temps de prendre confiance à son rythme. Son passé n’a pas été facile : elle a été abandonnée avec ses 11 compagnons. Malgré cela, elle montre déjà une belle capacité à s’attacher et mérite enfin de connaître la sécurité et l’amour d’une famille. Pour s’épanouir pleinement, elle aura besoin de douceur, de patience et de compréhension. Il faudra également lui apprendre les bases de la vie de famille et poursuivre son éducation avec bienveillance. Elle pourra vivre aussi bien en maison qu’en appartement. Elle est compatible avec les autres chiens ainsi qu’avec les enfants respectueux. Si vous êtes prêt à lui offrir le temps et l’amour dont elle a besoin, elle saura vous le rendre au centuple. Aucune réservation ne sera effectuée. Seules les personnes réellement prêtes à s’engager pour son bien-être seront étudiées.

About venus

What life with venus looks like

venus is a young adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Étalondes in Etalondes.

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 venus, answered.

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