Adopt CHOCO

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Très reserved vis-à-vis de l'humain, Choco is a sensitive dog who seeks adopters able to give him the time to open his little broken heart, without rushing things. Once he feels safe, he is a big, affectionate teddy bear! It will be imperative for him to live away from the full stimulation of the city, with a calm adopter. We will also avoid placing him with young children, but he could live with respectful teenagers. His education should continue daily using positive and gentle methods. His relationship with other dogs needs work, but his future home must be without cats. It will be imperative that he can benefit from daily mental and physical stimulation in green spaces essential to his well-being. A handsome fellow looking for a kind adopter. Choco had a behavioral assessment on 13/01/2023 and was rated 2/4. Not suitable for homes with cats.

Une fois en confiance, c’est un vrai gros nounours affectueux. Il devra vivre dans un environnement calme, loin des stimulations de la ville, auprès d’un adoptant posé. Nous éviterons également un foyer avec de jeunes enfants, mais il pourra vivre avec des adolescents respectueux. Son éducation est à poursuivre au quotidien en méthode positive et bienveillante. Son entente avec les autres chiens est à travailler et il devra vivre sans chat. Choco aura besoin de dépenses mentales et physiques quotidiennes dans des espaces verts, indispensables à son bien-être. Un beau bonhomme qui attend un adoptant patient et bienveillant. Choco a bénéficié d’une évaluation comportementale le 13/01/2023 et a obtenu la note de 2/4.

About CHOCO

What life with CHOCO looks like

CHOCO is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Hermeray in Hermeray.

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 CHOCO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about CHOCO?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Hermeray 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 — SPA Hermeray 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 SPA Hermeray 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.
