Adopt FORET

Mixed Breed · Female

Forest is a young dog with a gentle gaze, who arrived at the shelter with her sister after being abandoned. This touching little dog is still very shy: she lacked socialization and is now discovering a world she does not know. After being abandoned, she is cautious with strangers and will need time to relax. Currently, Forest can be reactive towards other dogs, out of fear. She has never learned to be around them, and her reactions mainly reflect her insecurity. With appropriate guidance, patience, and progressive meetings, she can make positive progress. The presence of a balanced dog could be a real advantage to help her gain confidence, but this must be done through supervised and respectful introductions. Forest will need a calm home away from the city center, without young children, with adopters who are patient and caring, ready to give her time to progress. Come meet her!

Forêt est une jeune chienne au regard doux, arrivée au refuge avec sa sœur après un abandon. Cette touchante louloute est encore très craintive : elle a manqué de socialisation et découvre aujourd’hui un monde qu’elle ne connaît pas. Suite à son abandon, elle est sur la réserve avec les inconnus et aura besoin de temps pour se détendre. Actuellement, Forêt peut se montrer réactive face aux autres chiens, par peur. Elle n’a jamais appris à les côtoyer, et ses réactions traduisent surtout son insécurité. Avec un accompagnement adapté, de la patience et des rencontres progressives, elle pourra évoluer positivement. La présence d’un chien équilibré pourrait être un vrai plus pour l’aider à prendre confiance, mais cela devra se faire avec des présentations encadrées et respectueuses. Forêt aura besoin d’un foyer calme hors pleine ville, sans jeunes enfants, avec des adoptants patients et bienveillants, prêts à lui laisser le temps de progresser. Venez la rencontrer !

About FORET

What life with FORET looks like

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

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 FORET, answered.

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