Type/Race : Shih Tzu (non LOF) N° de puce : 250268712838286 Histoire : La propriétaire a déclaré une maladie psychique qui mettait la chienne en danger. La famille l’a donc confiée à l’association pour son bien-être. Caractère/Description : Paris est très caline et sociable. Elle aime donc le contact humain. En extérieur, elle a également tendance à sauter sur les gens pour leur dire bonjour. Elle tire également en laisse. La propreté est acquise mais il est préférable que la sortie suive de près chaque repas pour ses besoins naturels. Frais d’adoption : 282 euros (adhésion comprise) L’adoption hors de France est tout à fait possible. L’adoptant doit pouvoir également se rendre dans la famille d’accueil pour rencontrer l’animal. Vaccinée : OUI + rage et passeport Pour l’adopter, merci de compléter ce formulaire : et dans la mesure où c’est obligatoire, de faire compléter avant toute rencontre, ce certificat par un vétérinaire ou une ASV et de nous le présenter après l’avoir signé : Finalement, ce chien ne vous correspond pas ou n’est plus disponible ? Nous en avons d’autres par ici

About Paris

What life with Paris looks like

Paris is a adult shih tzu dog waiting at Action 4 Pets in France.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 Paris, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paris?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Action 4 Pets handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Paris on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Paris if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Action 4 Pets 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 Paris 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 Paris 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 Action 4 Pets early rather than rehoming privately; they know Paris 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.
