Adopt Chanel

Female · Adult · 4 years

My story: Here is Chanel, a 4 and a half year old dog. She arrived at the shelter with her puppies following a removal due to abuse. Channel has been diagnosed and does not belong to any category. Therefore, a permit is not required for her. My character: She is a very affectionate and loving dog. Unfortunately, she was subjected to physical violence for a certain period of time, and today she has scars all over her body... She can be wary of certain people, especially men because of her past. Once she trusts someone, Chanel will show a lot of tenderness. Likes / Dislikes: She is okay with certain dogs and can go to a family with cats. She has discovered toys and loves it, especially destroying stuffed animals. Channel has discovered walks at the shelter and it is a real pleasure for her to discover new smells and new walking areas. She is a real clingy dog who follows everyone around whenever she can.

Mon histoire : Voici Chanel,une type dogue de 4 ans et demie.Elle est arrivée au refuge avec ses petits suite à un retrait de maltraitance.Channel a passé une diagnose et n’appartient à aucune catégorie.Le permis de détention n’est donc pas obligatoire pour elle. Mon caractère : C’est une chienne très attachante et affectueuse.Malheureusement elle a subit pendant un certain temps des violences physiques où elle en garde aujourd’hui des cicatrices sur tout son corps…Elle peut se montrer méfiante avec certaines personnes notamment la gente masculine suite à son passif.Une fois en confiance Chanel donnera beaucoup de tendresse. J'aime / J'aime pas : Elle est ok avec certains chiens et pourra partir dans une famille avec des chats.Elle a découvert les jouets et adore ça surtout détruire des peluches.Channel a découvert les balades au refuge et c’est un réel plaisir pour elle de découvrir de nouvelles odeurs et de nouveaux endroits de balade.C’est une vraie pot de colle qui nous suit partout dès qu’elle en a la possibilité.

About Chanel

What life with Chanel looks like

Chanel is a adult dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

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 Chanel, answered.

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