Adopt FUNKI

Male · Adult · 5 years

Arrived from the pound, FUNKI is an adorable mixed breed dog with a heartwarming gaze that leaves no one indifferent. Behind his gentle eyes hides a dog with a vast heart, ready to love without measure. Curious and kind, he observes, learns, and opens up a little more each day to the world around him. We are still getting to know him, but one thing is already clear: FUNKI is overflowing with love and just awaits a family to offer it to. He deserves to turn the page and finally know the warmth of a home, the tenderness of a presence, and the security of a lasting love.

Arrivé de la fourrière, Funki est un adorable croisé dogue au regard attendrissant qui ne laisse personne indifférent. Derrière ses yeux doux se cache un chien au cœur immense, prêt à aimer sans compter. Curieux et gentil, il observe, apprend et s’ouvre chaque jour un peu plus au monde qui l’entoure. Nous apprenons encore à le découvrir, mais une chose est déjà évidente : Funki déborde d’amour et n’attend qu’une chose… une famille à qui l’offrir. Il mérite de tourner la page et de connaître enfin la chaleur d’un foyer, la douceur d’une présence et la sécurité d’un amour durable.

About FUNKI

What life with FUNKI looks like

FUNKI is a large adult dog waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

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.

🇫🇷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 FUNKI, answered.

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