Adopt YOUK

Australian Shepherd · Male · Young · 2 years

YOUK is a beautiful medium-sized Australian Shepherd, just over 2 years old. Well-trained, he is calm and composed indoors and can be left alone without any issues. Very close to his human, he is affectionate and also enjoys the company of children. Social with other animals of the same species, YOUK prefers to meet others off-leash; therefore, socialization training will need to continue to help him be more comfortable on a leash. He is a playful, dynamic, and energetic dog who will need regular physical and mental exercise and stimulation. Very intelligent and attentive, he could excel in activities like agility, though he sometimes displays a bit of a stubborn streak! As a true herding dog, he loves to "gather his human flock" during walks. However, YOUK does not get along at all with cats and is predatory towards them. YOUK will thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard, with an active person who enjoys walks, outdoor activities, or wishes to share a canine activity with their companion. Available at Vern sur Seiche (35)

Read original (fr)

Youk est un magnifique berger australien de gabarit moyen, âgé d’un peu plus de 2 ans. Bien éduqué, il se montre calme et posé à l’intérieur et sait rester seul sans difficulté. Très proche de son humain, il est affectueux et apprécie également la compagnie des enfants. Sociable avec ses congénères, Youk préfère toutefois les rencontres en liberté ; un travail de socialisation sera donc à poursuivre pour l’aider à être plus à l’aise en laisse. C’est un chien joueur, dynamique et plein d’énergie, qui aura besoin de dépenses physiques et mentales régulières et de qualité. Très intelligent et attentif, il pourrait exceller dans des activités comme l’agility, même s’il sait parfois faire preuve d’un petit caractère têtu ! Véritable chien de berger, il adore d’ailleurs “rassembler son troupeau” d’humains pendant les balades. En revanche, Youk ne s’entend pas du tout avec les chats et se montre prédateur à leur égard. Youk s’épanouira pleinement dans une maison avec un jardin bien clôturé, auprès d’une personne active aimant les promenades, les activités de plein air ou souhaitant partager une activité canine avec son compagnon.

About YOUK

What life with YOUK looks like

YOUK is a young adult australian shepherd dog waiting at Moustaches et Compagnie in moustaches et compagnie.

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 YOUK, answered.

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