alohaka

Pointer · Female

Alohaka is a beautiful Braque-type dog who, unfortunately, did not have an easy start to life. Found wandering on public roads, she was never claimed and eventually ended up abandoned at our shelter. Despite this difficult beginning, Alohaka is a dog full of joy and zest for life. Gentle, affectionate, and energetic, she loves the company of humans and gets along well with other dogs as well as with children. Energetic and curious, she’ll need an attentive family who can provide her with lovely walks, moments of shared companionship, and an environment tailored to her needs. She’d be happiest living in a house with a securely fenced yard, where she can burn off her energy safely and freely. Alohaka is now waiting for a family who will finally give her the stability, love, and life she truly deserves. If you think you can open your heart and home to her, come meet her at the shelter.

Alohaka est une magnifique chienne de type Braque qui n’a malheureusement pas eu un début de vie facile. Retrouvée errante sur la voie publique, elle n’a jamais été réclamée et a finalement été abandonnée à notre refuge. Malgré cette épreuve, Alohaka est une chienne pleine de joie de vivre. Gentille, affectueuse et dynamique, elle apprécie la compagnie des humains et s’entend bien avec les chiens ainsi qu’avec les enfants. Énergique et curieuse, elle aura besoin d’une famille présente qui pourra lui offrir de belles balades, des moments de complicité et un environnement adapté à ses besoins. Elle pourra vivre en maison avec un jardin très bien clôturé, où elle pourra se dépenser en toute sécurité. Alohaka attend désormais une famille qui lui offrira enfin la stabilité, l’amour et la vie qu’elle mérite. Si vous pensez pouvoir lui ouvrir votre cœur et votre foyer, venez la rencontrer au refuge.

About alohaka

What life with alohaka looks like

alohaka is a adult pointer dog waiting at SPA Étalondes in Etalondes.

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 alohaka, answered.

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