Adopt POKER

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

POKER enjoys walks where he can explore at his own relaxed pace, and he also appreciates being petted. Joyful and affectionate, he dreams of finally becoming a family pet after many years in the our shelter. POKER is timid around unfamiliar things, so a calm environment would be preferable. POKER is very social with other animals of the same species; a family with an existing dog would be ideal for him, as their presence greatly reassures him. POKER cannot live with cats.

Read original (fr)

Poker aime les balades où il peut explorer tranquillement à son rythme et il apprécie aussi les caresses. Joyeux et affectueux, il rêve de devenir enfin un chien de famille après de longues années passées en refuge. Poker est craintif avec les choses qu'il ne connait pas, un environnement calme sera préférable. Poker est très sociable avec ses congénères, une famille ayant déjà un chien serait l'idéal pour lui car leur présence le rassure beaucoup. Poker ne pourra pas vivre avec des chats.

About POKER

What life with POKER looks like

POKER is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Château-d'Olonne.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs calm environment, fearful of unfamiliar things

🇫🇷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 POKER, answered.

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