Adopt Cody

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 4 years

Cody is a large, calm dog who appreciates walks. He can cohabitate with a fellow calm animal of the same species. Cody suffers from hip dysplasia and hypothyroidism. He therefore requires lifelong medication, as well as a monthly injection (Librela). Cody is part of the FAD Program: a significant portion of his medical expenses are covered by the shelter. Therefore, we should avoid stairs and long walks.

Cody est un grand chien calme ,discret et apprécie les balades. Il pourra cohabiter avec un congénère calme. Cody est atteint d'une dysplasie des hanches et est atteint d'hypothyroïdie. Il doit donc prendre un traitement à vie, ainsi qu'une injection (Librela) une fois par mois. Cody fait partie du Dispositif FAD : une grande partie de ses frais médicaux sont pris en charge par la SPA. On évitera donc les escaliers et les randonnées.

About Cody

What life with Cody looks like

Cody is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at SPA Plaisir in Plaisir.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Hip dysplasia and hypothyroidism requiring lifelong medication and monthly Librela injections. Medical costs partially covered by SPA. Must avoid stairs and long hikes.

🇫🇷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 Cody, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cody?
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 Cody on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cody 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 Cody 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 Cody 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 Cody 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.
