Willo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Willo has a little message for you 💖 Hello, I'm Willo! 🐾🤎 And I'm ready to find my family for life! I am a gentle, attentive and very human-oriented Border Collie mix. I love being with you, following you, listening to you... but I appreciate that you respect my pace: it's often me who decides when the cuddles happen, and when I come, it's to give you all my heart 🥰 I've been through a lot recently: I lost my human, I was alone, then I changed homes... all of this has really shaken me up. Today, I need to settle down with calm, patient and kind people, who will be able to help me regain confidence gently 💛 I am a fine gourmet: I love my dry kibble with a bit of meat and vegetables... and I am very reasonable with treats 😋 I also really like to play: balls, big sticks that I carry proudly, and the game invitations that I launch with my eyes full of hope 😄⚽🌲 Long walks in the forest or in the fields are my favorite moments... just like the long sessions of relaxation where I enjoy the calm and the sun 😍🌿 I get along pretty well with other dogs, but I don't know cats 🐕❓😺 I am clean, well-behaved at home and can be left alone without any problem. Well, I admit... I have my little fears: I hate being brushed (combs, what horror! 😖) and cars or anything motorized scare me a lot. Sometimes I bark or I want to run towards them because I don't know what to do in the face of that. But with time, patience and a lot of tenderness, I can learn to calm down ❤️ I dream of a quiet, kind, loving family that will help me relax, understand me and accompany me in my progress. The countryside would be ideal for me, and a garden would be a real plus to enjoy peace and quiet 🏡✨ If you're looking for a tender, loyal companion who will offer you immense love... I'm waiting for you.

Willo a un petit message pour vous 💖 Coucou, moi c’est Willo ! 🐾🤎 Et je suis prêt à trouver ma famille pour la vie ! Je suis un Border Collie croisé doux, attentif et très proche de l’humain . J’adore être avec vous, vous suivre, vous écouter… mais j’apprécie qu’on respecte mon rythme : c’est souvent moi qui décide du moment des câlins, et quand je viens, c’est pour donner tout mon cœur 🥰 J’ai vécu pas mal de bouleversements récemment : j’ai perdu mon humain, je me suis retrouvé seul, puis j’ai changé de maison… tout ça m’a beaucoup chamboulé. Aujourd’hui, j’ai besoin de me poser auprès de personnes calmes, patientes et bienveillantes, qui sauront me redonner confiance tout en douceur 💛 Je suis un fin gourmet : j’adore mes croquettes avec un peu de viande et de légumes… et je suis très raisonnable avec les friandises 😋 J’aime aussi beaucoup jouer : les ballons, les énormes bâtons que je porte fièrement, et les invitations au jeu que je lance avec mes yeux remplis d’espoir 😄⚽🌲 Les longues balades en forêt ou dans les champs sont mes moments préférés… tout comme les grandes séances de farniente où je profite du calme et du soleil 😍🌿 Je m’entends plutôt bien avec les autres chiens, mais je ne connais pas les chats 🐕❓😺 Je suis propre, sage à la maison et je peux rester seul sans souci. Bon, j’avoue… j’ai mes petites peurs : je déteste qu’on me brosse (les peignes, quelle horreur ! 😖) et les voitures ou tout ce qui est motorisé me font très peur. Parfois, j’aboie ou je veux courir dessus parce que je ne sais pas quoi faire face à ça. Mais avec du temps, de la patience et beaucoup de douceur, je peux apprendre à me rassurer ❤️ Je rêve d’une famille tranquille, douce, aimante, qui m’aidera à m’apaiser, me comprendre et m’accompagner dans mes progrès. La campagne serait idéale pour moi, et un jardin serait un vrai plus pour profiter en toute sérénité 🏡✨ Si vous cherchez un compagnon tendre, loyal et prêt à vous offrir un immense amour… je vous attends. 🐶💕

About Willo

What life with Willo looks like

Willo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Des Coeurs à Sauver in des coeurs a sauver.

An 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 Willo, answered.

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