AKNA

Female · Adult · 5 years

MERCI DE BIEN LIRE LA DESCRIPTION AVANT DE NOUS CONTACTER: Akna est une gentille petite chienne qui n'a pas connu grand chose. Très très craintive, elle n'ose pas encore s'approcher des humains, et après 5 mois de refuge, nous ne pouvons toujours pas la caresser. Elle a tout à découvrir et a apprendre (marche en laisse, éducation de base). Elle aura besoin d'une famille patiente et compréhensive car elle ne se laisse pas caresser, et par peur elle n'hésite pas à mordre. Nous lui cherchons une famille ayant du temps à lui consacrer chaque jour pour la mettre en confiance et l'éduquer en douceur. Une famille sans enfant vivant en maison avec un jardin clôturé, et un autre chien sera indispensable pour son adaptation. Pour l'aider, Akna a rejoint une famille d'accueil, elle n'est pas visible au refuge. Merci de nous contacter afin de fixer un RDV pour la rencontrer.

About AKNA

What life with AKNA looks like

AKNA is a adult dog waiting at SPA Cluses in Cluses.

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 AKNA, answered.

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