Kovou

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Male Age: approximately May 2016 (estimated) Size: small (5.7 kg - June 2025) Arrival date at shelter: June 2025 Neutered: yes Vaccinated: yes Microchip: yes Compatibility: ok dogs Character: shy Progress: January 18, 2026: Kovou has made ENORMOUS progress. He now seeks contact, although it remains hesitant. He does not yet walk outside because I cannot put a harness on him, but he loves to take short walks in the garden, plays with dogs of his size and gets along without problem with larger ones, he has calm and respectful interactions. At home he is calm and clean. He will become a real loveable dog, just give him time. ______________________ He is rather fearful, but should evolve with someone who has time to devote to him and some basic knowledge upon arrival (June 2025) History: his brother is PELUCHE. We rescued them both, they lived in a small box for years, their owners never took them outside, they did not even know the grass... Kovou is prognathic. 2 lower incisors were removed, they were very damaged. Contact: Neutered: yes Vaccinated: yes Microchip: yes Compatibility: ok dogs

About Kovou

What life with Kovou looks like

Kovou is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Remember Me France in France.

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 Kovou, answered.

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