CHOCO

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

CHOCO is back at the our shelter. He's a sensitive little guy who will need time to evolve in a calm environment. Once he feels at ease, he's a loving dog close to his humans. CHOCO unfortunately lacked education and socialization from a young age, which explains his current fears. Indeed, he's not comfortable with loud noises and sudden movements. He requires adopters who are gentle, patient, and willing to invest in his education with a positive-method trainer. CHOCO would be social with females but a placement without other animals will be recommended to facilitate his adaptation. He must be adopted without children, with a private garden, and in the countryside. The shelter is tough for him, CHOCO is waiting for you. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal needs to be the only pet in the home.

Choco est de retour au refuge. C'est un loulou sensible qui aura besoin de temps afin d'évoluer sereinement. Une fois en confiance, c'est un amour de chien proche de ses humains. Choco a malheureusement manquer d'éducation et de socialisation depuis petit, ce qui explique ses craintes d'aujourd'hui. En effet, il n'est pas à l'aise avec le bruit ainsi que les mouvements brusques. Il recherche pour cela des adoptants expérimentés, doux, patients et prêt à s'investir dans son éducation auprès d'un éducateur en méthode positive. Choco serait sociable avec les femelles mais un placement sans autres animaux sera préconisé afin de facilité son adaptation. Il devra être adopté sans enfants, avec un jardin privatif et en campagne. Le refuge est difficile pour lui, Choco n'attend que vous.

About CHOCO

What life with CHOCO looks like

CHOCO is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

An young 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. SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) 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 Gennevilliers (Grammont) 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 Gennevilliers (Grammont) 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.
