Adopt PUCCI

Female · Adult · 5 years

PUCCI is a shy and wary dog at first, but she will become affectionate, playful, and dynamic once she feels comfortable. We are looking for a calm environment with plenty of space for her. She is social with other animals of the same species (on introduction) but can be persistent. Several visits will be necessary to build a bond. For the well-being of PUCCI, please familiarize yourself with calming signals and gentle training methods.

Pucci est une chienne timide et méfiante dans les débuts puis elle se montrera câline, joueuse et dynamique une fois en confiance. Nous lui recherchons un environnement calme avec de l’espace. Elle est sociable avec ses congénères (sur présentation) mais se montrera insistante. Plusieurs visite seront nécessaires pour créer un lien. Pour le bien être de Pucci, merci de vous renseigner sur les signaux d'apaisements et sur l'éducation bienveillante.

About PUCCI

What life with PUCCI looks like

PUCCI is a adult dog waiting at SPA Chilleurs-aux-Bois in Chilleurs.

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 PUCCI, answered.

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