Kaigo

Male · Adult · 8 years

Kaigo is a Beauceron born on July 20, 2018, found abandoned in a forest. We are currently seeking a foster or adoptive family to avoid the stress of kennel life, which he may struggle with. Behind his large size is a calm, human-friendly, and curious dog who simply needs a reassuring environment to gain confidence. He can be fearful of new places, but shows no aggression. He is clean, knows basic training, and can be persuaded with some treats... preferably high-fat ones! Introductions to his peers must be done correctly. He can get along with dogs, but is defensive with intact males, who should be avoided. He seems to ignore cats, but cohabitation should be verified in real-life conditions. Kaigo could arrive as early as Tuesday, October 27. The goal is to find a solution before his arrival to spare him kennel life and allow him to quickly return to a stable daily routine, warm and with caring people. He has been abandoned once before. Let's help him not start this new chapter behind bars.

Kaigo est un beauceron né le 20 juillet 2018, retrouvé abandonné dans une forêt. Aujourd’hui, nous cherchons pour lui une famille d’accueil ou une famille adoptante afin de lui éviter le stress du box, qu’il risque de vivre difficilement.Derrière son grand gabarit se cache un chien calme, proche de l’humain et curieux, qui a simplement besoin d’un environnement rassurant pour prendre confiance. Il peut se montrer craintif face aux nouveaux lieux, mais ne présente aucune agressivité. Il est propre, connaît les bases de l’éducation et sait se laisser convaincre avec quelques friandises… de préférence bien grasses !Avec ses congénères, les présentations devront être faites correctement. Il peut s’entendre avec des chiens, mais se montre sur la défensive avec les mâles entiers, qui seront donc à éviter. Concernant les chats, il semble plutôt les ignorer, mais la cohabitation reste à vérifier en conditions réelles.Kaigo pourrait arriver dès le mardi 27 octobre. L’objectif est de lui trouver une solution avant son arrivée pour lui épargner le box et lui permettre de retrouver rapidement un quotidien stable, au chaud et auprès de personnes bienveillantes.Il a déjà été abandonné une fois. Aidons-le à ne pas commencer cette nouvelle étape derrière des barreaux.

About Kaigo

What life with Kaigo looks like

Kaigo is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at SPA Côtes d in France.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kaigo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kaigo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Côtes d handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kaigo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kaigo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Côtes d 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kaigo 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 Kaigo 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 Côtes d early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kaigo 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.
