Choco

Male · Adult · 5 years

CHOCO CHOCO was found wandering in Orléat, and no owner has come forward, so we are searching for a home for him. Proximity to humans, Choco is a young Drathaar who is dynamic and intelligent. Like all hunting dogs, he has a slightly "froufrou" side that will need to be channeled with positive training, as he responds well to it. An agreement with other dogs is possible. However, he hates cats.

FR·Show original

CHOCO CHOCO a été trouvé en divagation à Orléat, aucun propriétaire ne s’étant manifesté nous lui recherchons un foyer. Proche de l’humain, Choco est un jeune Drathaar dynamique et intelligent. Comme tout chien de chasse, il a un côté un peu « foufou » qu’il faudra canaliser avec une éducation positive étant donné qu’il y est réceptif. Une entente avec les chiens est envisageable. En revanche, il déteste les chats.

About Choco

What life with Choco looks like

Choco is a adult dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

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 Choco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Choco?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Choco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Choco if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Choco 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 Choco 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Choco 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.
