Adopt SHENZI

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

SHENZI (mixed possibly cane corso / hollandese shepherd) about 4 years old is up for adoption. Let's go back a bit to her story… SHENZI was found tied in the forest with her two puppies… She arrived at a pound, once her period was over she was supposed to be euthanized along with her puppies which had been taken from her… Without hesitation we took in SHENZI and her two puppies, so she was able to keep her puppies until they were adopted. Her arrival was difficult, she had lost all trust in humans and as a good mother she protected her little ones. And then with kindness and a lot of love SHENZI has improved a lot. Her two puppies have been adopted and SHENZI is now waiting for her family! SHENZI is very attached, very playful, she is also a good guard. She is still very stressed… She will need an owner who is experienced with dogs in order to work with her on her stress and her approach to strangers. For other animals of the same species she has her ways, but a male of her size or bigger who is well-behaved and confident could become a good companion for her. Not okay for females or cats. Very emotional, she will not be placed with children. She will need someone patient who has knowledge in terms of training and retraining.

Shenzi (croisée peut être cane corso / berger hollandais) d'environ 4 ans est a l'adoption . On va revenir un peu sur son histoire…. Shenzi a été retrouvé attaché dans la forêt avec ses deux chiots… Arrivée dans une fourrière, une fois son délai passé elle devait être euthanasié avec ses chiots qui lui avait été retiré… Sans hésitation nous avoir récupéré shenzi et ses deux chiots, elle a donc retrouvé ses chiots le temps de leur adoption . Son arrivée a été sportif , elle n'avait plus aucune confiance en l'humain et en bonne maman elle protégeait ses petits. Et puis avec de la douceur et beaucoup d'amour shenzi va beaucoup mieux . Ses deux chiots ont été adopté et shenzi attend maintenant sa famille ! Shenzi est plutôt pot de colle , tres joueuse , c'est aussi une bonne gardienne. Elle est pour l'instant encore tres stressée… Elle aura besoin de maître connaissant bien les chiens pour pouvoir travailler avec elle sur son stress et sur son approche de l'humain inconnu . Pour ses congénères elle a ses têtes , mais un male de son gabarit ou plus grand bien codé et bien dans ses pattes pourrait devenir un bon compagnon pour elle. Pas ok femelles ni chats. Trés émotive , elle ne sera pas placé aves des enfants. Elle aura besoin de quelqu'un de patient ayant des connaissances en terme d'éducation et réeducations. contactez le refuge avant de venir la voir pour plus d'informations.

About SHENZI

What life with SHENZI looks like

SHENZI is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at AVSA - Fourrière - Refuge in Roquebrune-sur-Argens.

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.

🇫🇷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 SHENZI, answered.

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