Cintu

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Born in 2022, Cintu is now 4 years old. This griffon came to the our shelter in Furiani a few weeks ago. Since then, he has been patiently waiting to write a new story. He is a affectionate dog who enjoys human contact and shared moments. He loves interactions, looks, attentions… and just wants to create a sincere bond with his future family. However, his past has left some marks: Cintu can initially be a bit wary of humans. With patience, gentleness, and respect, he gradually builds trust. Energetic and dynamic, Cintu will need a stimulating environment; regular activities and attentive presence for him to thrive fully.

Né en 2022, Cintu vient d’avoir 4 ans. C’est un griffon qui est arrivé au refuge Fondation Assistance aux Animaux de Furiani il y a quelques semaines. Depuis, il attend patiemment de pouvoir écrire une nouvelle histoire. C’est un chien affectueux qui apprécie le contact et les moments partagés avec l’humain. Il aime les interactions, les regards, les attentions… et ne demande qu’à créer un lien sincère avec sa future famille. Son passé laisse toutefois quelques traces : Cintu peut se montrer un peu méfiant envers les hommes dans un premier temps. Avec de la patience, de la douceur et du respect, il accorde progressivement sa confiance. Dynamique et plein d’énergie, Cintu aura besoin d’un environnement stimulant ; avec des activités régulières et une présence attentive pour s’épanouir pleinement.

About Cintu

What life with Cintu looks like

Cintu is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Fondation Assistance aux Animaux in Paris.

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.

Note from the shelter: Initially wary of men due to past experiences, requires patience and gentle approach

🇫🇷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 Cintu, answered.

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