IVAR

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

IVAR is a young mastiff who recently arrived from a pound, and unfortunately, we do not know his past. His story remains unknown: we do not know if he has ever lived in a family or what experiences he may have had before. Despite this, IVAR is friendly and close to humans. Everything will need to be built with him. His future family will need to be ready to start his education and socialization from the beginning, with patience, consistency, and kindness. Since his interactions with other dogs and cats are unknown, appropriate introductions will need to be planned on a case-by-case basis. Young and full of energy, IVAR will need a good physical and mental outlet every day to thrive. Come meet him!

FR·Show original

Ivar est un jeune dogue récemment arrivé de fourrière, dont nous ne connaissons malheureusement pas le passé. Son histoire reste inconnue : nous ne savons pas s'il a déjà vécu en famille, ni quelles expériences il a pu connaître auparavant. Malgré cela, Ivar se montre avenant et proche de l'humain. Tout est à construire avec lui. Sa future famille devra être prête à reprendre son éducation et sa sociabilisation depuis le début, avec patience, cohérence et bienveillance. Ses ententes avec les autres chiens et les chats étant inconnues, des présentations adaptées seront à prévoir au cas par cas. Jeune et plein d'énergie, Ivar aura besoin d'une bonne dépense physique et mentale au quotidien pour s'épanouir pleinement. Venez le rencontrer !

About IVAR

What life with IVAR looks like

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

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 IVAR, answered.

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