Adopt LIFE CHAO

Pointer · Male · Senior · 10 years

Life was found starving, very thin, wandering in the street. Life is a calm, affectionate dog who hasn't had an easy life. He doesn't seem to react to cats and appears to tolerate his other animal companions. Life is an adorable dog looking for a new start in a caring home. He suffers from significant arthritis, and a ground-floor house or apartment with daily short walks will be necessary.

Read original (fr)

Life a été trouvé affamé, très maigre, errant dans la rue. Life est un chien calme, affectueux, qui n'a pas du avoir une vie facile. Il ne semble pas réagir face aux chats et semble tolérer ses congénères. Life est un adorable chien qui cherche un nouveau départ dans un foyer attentionné. Il souffre d'arthrose importante, une maison ou un appartement de plein pied, avec des petites balades quotidiennes seront nécessaires.

About LIFE CHAO

What life with LIFE CHAO looks like

LIFE CHAO is a senior pointer dog waiting at SPA Chamarande in Chamarande.

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 LIFE CHAO, answered.

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