RIKI

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Riki, en foyer d’accueil depuis 56 jours Je m’appelle Riki, jeune chien arrivé au refuge après un début de vie difficile : d’abord trouvé par la fourrière à 1 an dans une autre région, je suis parti en famille d’accueil ; malheureusement celle-ci a dû me céder au refuge de La Rochelle après quelques temps suite à une bagarre avec le chien de la famille qui m’a valu la perte d’un oeil. J’ai été ensuite pris plusieurs fois en famille d’accueil en vue d’adoption mais malheureusement cela n’a pas fonctionné. Actuellement en foyer d’accueil, avec l’aide de la comportementaliste du refuge j’ai réussi à faire disparaitre certains petits comportements indésirables apparus suite à mon arrivée dans mon nouvel environnement grâce à beaucoup de patience, d’observation et de compréhension de la part de mon parrain d’accueil. Aujourd’hui je serais prêt à vivre dans ma dernière famille (je supporterais mal un nouvel abandon), qui devra continuer et reprendre avec patience et calme mon éducation et mon évolution cela, toujours avec l’aide de la comportementaliste qui me suit pour mettre toutes les chances de mon côté (engagement à signer lors du départ). Riki est visible uniquement dans sa famille d’accueil sur Sainte-Soulle ; plusieurs rencontres avec balades seront nécessaires avant de partir afin de créer un 1er lien et limiter mon stress du départ. 1er contact au 06.69.01.67.70 (laissez un message vocal ou un sms).

About RIKI

What life with RIKI looks like

RIKI is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Lagord / La Rochelle in Lagord.

An young 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 RIKI, answered.

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