Adopt JOKER

Male · Adult · 6 years

JOKER is back at the shelter after 2 weeks of adoption. He is a affectionate, joyful, and pleasant companion on walks. JOKER shows social behavior towards other animals of the same species on walks, but his sociability still needs to be developed. Due to his genetic makeup, he should be adopted by active individuals capable of meeting his physical and cognitive needs on a daily basis. Please make sure to research the specificities of the breed. JOKER will need presence at the beginning. Indeed, he tends to destroy things when left alone. Therefore, his education is still to be continued with positive and gentle methods, ideally with the help of an educator. We will therefore prefer a placement in a garden house where he can be isolated at first. An apartment placement can be considered depending on the profiles.

Joker est de retour au refuge après 2 semaines d'adoption. Il s'agit d'un chien affectueux, joyeux et agréable en balade. Joker se montre sociable avec ses congénères en balade mais sa sociabilité est encore à poursuivre. De part sa génétique, il devra être adopté par des adoptants sportifs en mesure de satisfaire ses besoins physiques et cognitifs au quotidien. Merci de bien vous renseigner sur les spécificités de la race. Joker est un chien qui aura besoin de présence au départ. En effet, il a tendance à détruire lorsqu'il est seul. Toute son éducation est donc à poursuivre en méthode positive et bienveillante idéalement accompagné d'un éducateur. Nous privilégierons donc un placement en maison jardin avec de quoi l'isoler au départ. Un placement en appartement peut être envisager en fonction des profils.

About JOKER

What life with JOKER looks like

JOKER is a adult 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 JOKER, answered.

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