How do I contact the shelter about PAKI?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA de Basse-Normandie handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw PAKI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt PAKI if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA de Basse-Normandie 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 PAKI 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 PAKI 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 de Basse-Normandie early rather than rehoming privately; they know PAKI 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.

PAKI

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

MALE Neutered LOF Born on 10.10.2016 Identified by chip Our kind grandpa PAKI arrived at the shelter through the pound, so we don't know his past. He's a lovely dog full of life who still has a lot of strength for his age! ❤️💪🏻 ❤️‍🩹 In terms of health, PAKI just needs some eye ointment (chronic bilateral conjunctivitis and corneal drying). He also has orthopedic equipment in place, following an old fracture of the left femur but it doesn't require any care. 😊 And as he's a grandpa, he will need a Mobility diet with dietary supplements, as well as attention to his weight and arthritis 😉 (osteopathy is strongly recommended) ⚠️ Being a category 2 dog, you will need a permit to adopt him! 😉 (don't worry, we can help you with the process if needed!) Come meet him soon at the shelter! He's so affectionate and deserves a well-earned retirement, warm and surrounded by love!

Mâle Castré Staff LOF Né le 10.10.2016 Identifié par puce Notre gentil papi Paki est arrivé au refuge par le biais de la fourrière, donc nous ne connaissons pas son passé. C’est un adorable loulou plein de vie qui a encore beaucoup de force pour son âge ! ❤️💪🏻 ❤️‍🩹 Côté santé, Paki a juste une pommade à lui mettre dans les yeux (dessèchement chronique bilatéral de la conjonctive et de la cornée). Il a également un matériel orthopédique en place, suite à une ancienne fracture du fémur gauche mais qui ne nécessite pas de soins. 😊 Et comme c’est un papi, il devra être sous alimentation Mobility avec compléments alimentaires, ainsi que faire attention à son poids et à son arthrose 😉 (ostéopathie fortement conseillée) ⚠️ Étant un chien de catégorie 2, il faudra un permis de détention pour pouvoir l’adopter ! 😉 (pas de panique, nous pouvons vous aider dans la démarche si besoin !) Venez vite le rencontrer au refuge ! Il est tellement attachant et aurait besoin d’une retraite bien méritée, au chaud et entouré d’amour ! 🥰 –

About PAKI

What life with PAKI looks like

PAKI is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SPA de Basse-Normandie in Verson.

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.
