CACAO

Mixed Breed · Male

Cacao spent a lot of time on the streets. He was very wary of humans and had learned to be cunning to avoid being caught. But with patience, the volunteers were able to put him in safety at the shelter. And the magic happened! In a short time, Cacao went from a small, somewhat fearful dog to a small dog afraid of being abandoned again. He enjoys every moment of the volunteers' presence at the shelter, following them everywhere and seeking their caresses. And thanks to their affection, Cacao has become the dog that everyone would dream of adopting. He is a true love, compatible with any living situation. He is a calm and quiet, gentle and cuddly, respectful and kind dog with everyone, an adorable dog, and that's putting it mildly...

Cacao a passé beaucoup de temps dans la rue. Il se méfiait beaucoup des humains et avait appris à ruser pour ne pas se laisser attrapper. Mais à force de patience, les bénévoles ont quand -même réussi à le mettre en sécurité au refuge. Et la magie a opéré! En peu de temps, Cacao est passé d'un petit chien un peu peureux à un petit chien craignant d'être à nouveau abandonné. Il profite de chaque instant de présence des bénévoles aux refuge en les suivant partout et en recherchant leurs caresses. Et grâce à leur tendresse, Cacao est devenu le chien que tout le monde rêverait d'adopter. C'est un véritable amour, compatible avec n'importe quelle situation de vie. C'est un loulou calme et tranquille, doux et câlin, respecteux et gentil avec tout le monde, un chien adorable, et c'est peu de le dire...

About CACAO

What life with CACAO looks like

CACAO is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Kahlua in association kahlua.

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 CACAO, answered.

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