Vera

Pointer · Female · Young · 2 years

Son histoire Vera a été abandonnée en raison de ses fugues à répétition. Au refuge, elle n’a pas réussi à se sauver : un bon grillage assez haut et un minimum de sérieux dans la surveillance suffiront mais elle ne pourra pas promener sans laisse sans un apprentissage sérieux. Toute jeune, c’est une chienne très active qui aura besoin de présence et d’éducation pour lui apprendre à mieux gérer la solitude. Il lui faudra aussi dépenser son énergie, aussi bien physique que mentale. Un entourage familial, des enfants, du monde à qui dispenser toute sa tendresse, un copain aussi, feraient bien son affaire. Elle apprécie la compagnie de ses congénères mais pas du tout des chats qui ne seront pas en sécurité avec Véra. En laisse, elle reste vive mais son petit gabarit rend la balade gérable. Elle se calme d’ailleurs vite mais l’envie de renifler, de suivre des odeurs séduisantes peut décupler son entrain. Elle aura sans doute du mal à se faire à une vie trop « plan-plan ». L’appartement peut tout à fait s’envisager car elle est propre à condition de ne pas compter que sur trois balades hygiéniques par jour mais sur de vraies sorties et par tous les temps, comme pour la grande majorité des chiens. Si vous savez gérer sa jeune fougue, vous serez récompensé par l’affection sans bornes de cette chienne fofolle et si attachante.

About Vera

What life with Vera looks like

Vera is a young adult pointer dog waiting at SPA Grillon in France.

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 Vera, answered.

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