How do I contact the shelter about ROCKY?

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 ROCKY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ROCKY 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 ROCKY 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 ROCKY 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 ROCKY 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.

ROCKY

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

ROCKY has already experienced two abandonments at our shelter... and is struggling greatly with his return to the kennel. Very stressed, he currently needs a family capable of offering stability and kindness. With humans, ROCKY is affectionate, but he will absolutely require a quiet environment: no young children to ensure his peace and respect his boundaries. He can live in the countryside or in a semi-urban area. Social with his other animals of the same species, ROCKY can join a household where a well-behaved female already resides, provided a meet-and-greet test at the shelter is successful. Certain manipulations remain challenging for him: that's why an outdoor access is strongly recommended, so he can vent and build confidence at his own pace. A follow-up with an educator is also advised. He can be left alone for a few hours, in exchange for beautiful daily walks.

Rocky cumule déjà deux abandons au refuge… et vit très mal son retour en box. Très stressé, il a aujourd’hui besoin d’une famille capable de lui offrir stabilité et bienveillance. Avec l’humain, Rocky se montre affectueux, mais il aura impérativement besoin d’un environnement calme : pas de jeunes enfants pour garantir sa tranquillité et respecter ses limites. Il pourra vivre en campagne ou en zone semi-urbaine. Sociable avec ses congénères, Rocky pourra rejoindre un foyer où vit déjà une femelle bien codée, sous réserve d’un test de rencontre au refuge. Certaines manipulations restent difficiles pour lui : c’est pourquoi un accès extérieur est fortement recommandé, afin qu’il puisse se défouler et monter en confiance à son rythme. Un suivi avec un éducateur sera également conseillé. Il saura rester seul quelques heures, en échange de belles balades quotidiennes.

About ROCKY

What life with ROCKY looks like

ROCKY is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Gennevilliers (Grammont) in Gennevilliers.

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: Highly stressed from multiple abandonments, difficult with some handling, needs calm environment and professional training support

🇫🇷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.
