BRICK DIT RICK CHAO

Akita · Male · Senior · 12 years

Rick and Laïka have been abandoned at our shelter after 9 years of adoption due to a change in family circumstances. Rick and Laïka have difficulty tolerating long absences. They can live in a house with a maximum of 7 hours of absence or in an apartment without any absence. Due to their age, we will avoid a home accessible only by stairs. Rick is a big, shy guy who is very close to his reference human. He knows children and gets along with dogs. We do not know how he gets along with cats. If you want to make a beautiful rescue, don't hesitate to come meet them at our shelter!

Rick et Laïka viennent d'être abandonnés au refuge après 9 ans d'adoption suite à un changement de situation familiale. Rick et Laïka ont du mal à tolérer des longues absences. Ils pourront vivre en maison avec maximum 7h d'absence ou en appartement sans absence. Du fait de leur âge nous éviterons un logement accessible uniquement par des escaliers. Rick est un grand timide, qui est très proche de son humain de référence. Il connait les enfants et s'entend avec les chiens. Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les chats. Si vous souhaitez faire un très beau sauvetage, n'hésitez pas à venir les rencontrer au refuge!

About BRICK DIT RICK CHAO

What life with BRICK DIT RICK CHAO looks like

BRICK DIT RICK CHAO is a senior akita dog waiting at SPA Chamarande in Chamarande.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 BRICK DIT RICK CHAO, answered.

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