Adopt LUCKY CHAO

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

In the beginning of his life, Lucky lived in an apartment with an elderly person who was unable to take care of him, and he went out very little. After being adopted twice, Lucky was brought back to the shelter. Lucky does not tolerate living conditions in the kennel; we are looking for an apartment or a house with a garden for him. Lucky is a big introvert; it will take him time to open up to you and feel at ease. You will need to visit the shelter several times before you can adopt him. Life in the kennel is a memorable experience for dogs, especially when they spend several years there, so we cannot ask them to be at ease and adapt instantly to their new home. We are looking for a placement for Lucky outside the city, without children, and without other animals. Be the lucky chance for our beautiful Lucky! He is waiting for you!!. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal needs to be the only pet in the home.

Read original (fr)

Dans son début de vie, Lucky vivait en appartement avec une personne âgée qui n'arrivait pas à s'en occuper, il sortait très peu. Depuis Lucky a été adopté deux fois puis ramené au refuge. Lucky ne supporte pas les conditions de vie en box, nous recherchons pour lui un placement en appartement ou en maison avec jardin. Lucky est un grand timide, il lui faudra du temps pour s'ouvrir à vous et être à l'aise. Il vous faudra venir au refuge plusieurs fois avant de pouvoir l'adopter. La vie en chenil est une expérience marquante pour les chiens, qui plus est lorsqu'ils y passent plusieurs années, on ne peut donc pas leur demander d'être à l'aise et de s'adapter instantanément à leur nouveau foyer. Nous recherchons pour Lucky un placement hors pleine ville, sans enfants et sans autres animaux. Soyez la chance de notre beau Lucky !!! Il vous attend !!

About LUCKY CHAO

What life with LUCKY CHAO looks like

LUCKY CHAO is a medium-sized senior mixed breed 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.

Note from the shelter: Does not tolerate kennel life well, requires multiple pre-adoption visits, needs quiet environment away from city center

🇫🇷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 LUCKY CHAO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LUCKY 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 LUCKY CHAO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LUCKY 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 LUCKY 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 LUCKY 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 LUCKY 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.
