Adopt PUMKIN

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

PUMKIN has sadly lacked proper education and is seeking adopters who are available and willing to invest in the long term. He is very friendly with humans, but his past has already left him with behavioral issues and he tends to get excited easily. His education will need to be done using positive and gentle methods, ideally with adopters who are knowledgeable about the breed. The presence of a first dog is recommended to help with his adaptation. An placement without young children is requested. Like any puppy that has grown up in a shelter, he will need presence at the start and must absolutely benefit from excellent mental and physical stimulation every day in green spaces. An outdoor access would be a plus for managing his emotions. Requires an experienced owner.

Pumkin a cruellement manqué d'éducation et recherche des adoptants disponibles et prêt à s'investir sur le long terme. Très avenant avec l'humain, son passé lui laisse déjà des séquelles niveau comportement et à tendance à faire des montées d'excitation. Toute son éducation est à faire en méthode positive et bienveillant auprès d'adoptants connaisseur de la race. La présence d'un premier chien sera recommandé afin de facilité son adaptation. Un placement sans jeunes enfants sera demandé. Comme tout chiot ayant grandit en refuge, il aura besoin de présence au départ et devra impérativement bénéficier d'une excellente dépense mentale et physique au quotidien dans des espaces verts. Un placement avec un accès extérieur serait un plus pour la gestion de ses émotions.

About PUMKIN

What life with PUMKIN looks like

PUMKIN is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

Note from the shelter: Behavioral rehabilitation needed due to lack of early socialization and education

🇫🇷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 PUMKIN, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about PUMKIN?
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 PUMKIN on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt PUMKIN 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 PUMKIN 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 PUMKIN 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 PUMKIN 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.
