Kakou

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Kakou is a young mixed breed large dog with long curly hair. Unfortunately, he didn't have a well-structured start in life: he grew up with other dogs but without proper human guidance. In this context, he sometimes participated in chasing joggers out of fear and pack mentality, without serious incidents. Today, he mainly needs a patient family who will teach him the basics and provide a reassuring environment. Kakou is a very playful and affectionate dog. Once he gains confidence, he becomes close to humans and could be a faithful and endearing companion. With a little patience and lots of love, Kakou has everything it takes to become a great companion.

FR·Show original

Kakou est un jeune chien, de grande taille, avec de longs poils frisés. Il n’a malheureusement pas eu un début de vie très encadré : il a grandi avec d’autres chiens mais sans véritable repères humains. Aujourd’hui, il a surtout besoin d’une famille patiente qui lui apprendra les bases et lui offrira un cadre rassurant. Kakou est un chien très joueur et très affectueux. Une fois en confiance, il devient proche de l’humain et pourra être un compagnon fidèle et attachant. Avec un peu de patience et beaucoup d’amour, Kakou a tout pour devenir un super compagnon.

About Kakou

What life with Kakou looks like

Kakou is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Perpignan in Perpignan.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: Needs patient family due to lack of early human socialization and history of chasing joggers

🇫🇷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 Kakou, answered.

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