Adopt Choubaka

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Choubaka is back at our shelter after 6 years of adoption. He is a very sensitive dog who will need a calm environment. A family with teenagers will be welcome. Choubaka can live in a house or an apartment, provided his adopters are sufficiently available. He is calm indoors, clean, and can be left alone for a few hours without causing any trouble. He is sociable with other dogs (subject to a meeting). We do not know his compatibility with cats, but a test can be conducted at the shelter.

Il est calme en intérieur, propre et pourra rester seul quelques heures sans faire de bêtises. Il est sociable avec les autres chiens (sous réserve d'une rencontre). Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les chats mais un test pourra être réalisé au refuge.

About Choubaka

What life with Choubaka looks like

Choubaka is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

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 Choubaka, answered.

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