KENZO

Basset Hound · Male · Senior · 11 years

Arrivé au refuge suite au décès de sa maîtresse, Kenzo n’apprécie pas particulièrement les contacts : il est crucial de lui laisser prendre l’initiative et de ne pas les initier soi-même, au risque de voir surgir un grognement. Son adoption nécessite une famille patiente, sans enfants, capable de respecter son rythme pour reconstruire sa confiance. Ce chien calme ne tire pas en laisse et adore les promenades dans l’herbe. S’il peut s’entendre avec d’autres chiens, la cohabitation avec des chats est exclue. Kenzo attend un foyer apaisé pour retrouver le bonheur. Enfin, attention, la photo peut être trompeuse : Kenzo n’est pas un petit chien, mais un bon loulou de 27 kilos tout de même.

About KENZO

What life with KENZO looks like

KENZO is a small senior basset hound dog waiting at SPA Beaurepaire-en-Bresse in Beaurepaire.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 KENZO, answered.

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