Rikiki

Chihuahua · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Mon histoire : Rikiki est un petit Chihuahua de tout juste 7 mois, arrivé à l’association suite à un arrêt d’activité d’élevage. Mon caractère : Très craintif, il a été peu sociabilisé au monde extérieur et découvre aujourd’hui tout ce qui l’entoure. Il lui faudra du temps pour apprendre à faire confiance et prendre ses repères dans son nouvel environnement.Rikiki s’entend très bien avec les autres chiens, dont la présence le rassure énormément. Un foyer avec un chien bien dans ses pattes serait un véritable atout pour l’aider à évoluer. Il s’entend également avec les chats. J'aime / J'aime pas : En revanche, un placement sans jeunes enfants sera privilégié afin de respecter sa sensibilité et son besoin de calme.Tout est à construire avec Rikiki. Il n’est pas habitué aux promenades et devra apprendre les bases de la vie de famille. Patience, douceur et bienveillance seront les maîtres mots pour l’accompagner dans cette nouvelle vie.Si la famille dispose d’un jardin, celui-ci devra être entièrement clôturé, car Rikiki pourrait prendre la fuite sous l’effet de la peur s’il en avait l’occasion.Malgré sa petite taille et sa bouille irrésistible, il reste un jeune chien qui demandera un réel investissement. En revanche, une fois en confiance, Rikiki devient un véritable pot de colle, très proche de son humain et toujours en recherche de contact et d’affection.Avec le temps et beaucoup d’amour, ce petit cœur révélera toute sa tendresse.

About Rikiki

What life with Rikiki looks like

Rikiki is a small puppy/kitten chihuahua dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

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.

🇫🇷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 Rikiki, answered.

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