Gerico

Male · Adult · 5 years

Gerico arrived with us from the pound. He is on the cautious side around strangers and will need a gentle and patient adopter. He is uncomfortable around young children. He enjoys walks and does not pull too hard on the leash. He has basic training and is housebroken. At the shelter, he does not destroy his belongings. He is dynamic and will need an active and present family. We do not yet know his compatibility with children. He cannot live with cats, and his interactions with other animals of the same species are case-by-case, contingent upon a proper introduction and supervision. He is not suitable for apartment living. He is leishmaniasis positive and will require daily treatment.

FR·Show original

Gerico est arrivé chez nous par le biais de la fourrière. Il est en inconfort avec les jeunes enfants. Il apprécie les balades et ne tire pas trop en laisse. Il a des bases d'éducation et la propreté est acquise. Au refuge il ne détruit pas ses affaires. Dynamique, il lui faudra une famille assez active et présente. Nous ne connaissons pas encore ses ententes avec les enfants. Il n'est pas compatible avec la vie en appartement. Il est positif à la leishmaniose et aura besoin d'un traitement quotidien.

About Gerico

What life with Gerico looks like

Gerico is a adult dog waiting at SPA Draguignan (Flayosc) in Draguignan.

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 Gerico, answered.

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