Adopt PACHA

Male · Senior · 9 years

PACHA is a large Anatolian Shepherd, transferred from another shelter to give him a new chance at adoption. He has difficulty trusting new people and can be persuasive if he doesn't like a situation, especially during walks. Once he feels secure, he is very loyal and protective, allowing manipulation and petting without issue. With a strong personality, the Anatolian Shepherd is a powerful and faithful dog. Please research the specifics of the breed. We are looking for a home where he can have easy access to a well-fenced and secure yard. Not being comfortable with all manipulations, PACHA must be adopted without children and by consistent adopters. He seems sociable with some dogs on walks but cannot share his life with another dog or a cat. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Pacha est un Berger d'Anatolie de grand gabarit, transféré d'un autre refuge pour lui donner une nouvelle chance d'adoption. Il a du mal à faire confiance à de nouvelles personnes, et peut se montrer persuasif si une situation ne lui plait pas notamment lors des balades. Une fois en confiance, il est très fidèle et protecteur, il se laissera manipuler et caresser sans problème. D'un caractère fort, le Berger d'Anatolie est un chien puissant et fidèle. Veuillez vous renseigner sur les spécificités de la race. Nous lui recherchons un foyer en maison où il aura un accès vers le jardin facilement, que celui ci soit bien clôturé et sécurisé. N'étant pas à l'aise avec toutes les manipulations, Pacha devra être adopté sans enfants et avec des adoptants cohérents. Il semble sociable avec certains chiens en balade mais ne pourra pas partager sa vie un autre chien, ni un chat.

About PACHA

What life with PACHA looks like

PACHA is a extra-large senior dog waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

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: Requires secure fencing, struggles with trust and handling, needs consistent experienced owners

🇫🇷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 PACHA, answered.

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