Saki

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Saki is a magnificent little Loulou whose entire education is yet to be done, with love, patience, and gentleness. Dated 14/05/2024, description from his foster family: Saki is magnificent, handsome and tall, calm (for now), more laid-back than his sister, and very gentle. He is a bit reserved when he doesn't know someone. Thief rating: +++, since he's tall enough to get his nose right onto the table. Dated 22/08/24, description from his foster family: The gentle, majestic giant. He is calm and composed. He needs time to get to know you. He tries to impress at first, but Saki is a truly kind soul. He needs time to feel confident, but once he trusts you, he can be very gentle and loves cuddles. He will need buddies to play with and burn off energy. He enjoys their company and seeks it out. He respects other dogs. The outside world still frightens him, and he struggles to accept a certain amount of restraint. Walks are not yet established; he needs time and patience. A countryside setting would suit him well. He is an incredibly handsome and sweet Loulou, a true sweetheart. Curious, and playful at times. A thief when the mood strikes, with no great difficulty given his size, as his nose can reach right onto the table. He is not dominant, but he tries to impress dogs his own size or male dogs. He is mostly afraid of them at first contact, but if the other dog is well-mannered and respects Saki's signals, his fear fades within a few days. He will get past his fears with someone patient who knows how to guide him. He will need to lean on his handler to get there. Dated 13/01/2025: Saki, incredibly gentle. He loves being petted, and he jumps up on me too when he's happy to see me when I come home. If you give him a treat, he'll bury it straight away in the garden. Comfortable with guests but never comes too close; he is curious and watches.

About Saki

What life with Saki looks like

Saki is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Happy Together in France.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Saki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Saki?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Happy Together handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Saki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Saki if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Happy Together 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Saki 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 Saki 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 Association Happy Together early rather than rehoming privately; they know Saki 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.
