Adopt COCO

Male · Young · 1 year

Coco is an adorable Belgian Malinois crossbreed full of life and love to give. Friendly and cheerful, he loves humans, but will need a master able to handle his little character. He has a good recall (a real attentive student!), he is a huge fan of ball games. Very energetic, he needs to burn off energy daily. We are looking for active people who like long walks and are willing to get involved in the education of a young dog (an educational follow-up will be necessary), without cats and preferably without other dogs (a test can be done with a fellow animal of the same species but Coco can have his moments).

Coco est un adorable croisé malinois plein de vie et d’amour à donner. Sociable et enjoué, il adore les humains, mais aura besoin d’un maître capable de gérer son petit caractère. Il a un bon rappel (un vrai élève attentif !), c’est un fan absolu de jeux de balle. Très dynamique, il a besoin de se dépenser quotidiennement. Nous cherchons des personnes actives aimant les longues balades et ayant l’envie de s’impliquer dans l’éducation d’un jeune chien (un suivi éducatif sera à prévoir), sans chats et de préférence sans autres chiens (un test peut être fait avec un congénère mais Coco peut avoir ses têtes).

About COCO

What life with COCO looks like

COCO is a young adult dog waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

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 COCO, answered.

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