Willow

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 4 years

Willow, an adorable 5-year-old border collie. Willow was bought as a puppy by an elderly gentleman who can no longer take care of his dog today. The last few months have been challenging, with Willow barely stepping outside and even though he was spoiled and loved, his owner couldn't provide the stimulating life he needs. He is a very gentle, active dog who can be a bit rambunctious outside but knows how to settle down inside. He gets along with everyone. Willow is microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. A health report has been established by the veterinarian.

Willow, adorable border collie de 5 ans. Willow a été acheté bébé par un monsieur âgé, qui ne peut malheureusement plus s occuper de son chien aujourd’hui. Les derniers mois ont été compliqués, Willow ne sortait quasi plus en extérieur et même s il était choyé et aimé, son maître ne pouvait plus lui offrir la vie stimulante dont il a besoin. C est un chien très gentil, actif, un peu foufou en extérieur mais qui sait se poser en intérieur. Il s entend avec tous. Willow est identifié par une puce électronique, vacciné et castré. Il possède un bilan de santé établi par le vétérinaire.

About Willow

What life with Willow looks like

Willow is a large adult border collie dog waiting at 30 Millions d'Amis in Paris.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Willow, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Willow?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 30 Millions d'Amis handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Willow on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Willow if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 30 Millions d'Amis 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 Willow 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 Willow 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 30 Millions d'Amis early rather than rehoming privately; they know Willow 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.
