Adopt SIKI

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 4 years

SIKI has already experienced several lives... Adopted as a puppy from the shelter, she was then entrusted to another family, but unfortunately was abandoned again. Today, she finally deserves to find a stable and loving home for life. SIKI is a sensitive dog and a bit shy at first. She needs time to observe, understand, and feel confident. But once this bond is created, she reveals herself to be deeply affectionate: loyal, gentle, and very loving. In her previous home, SIKI lived with young children, with whom everything went well. She is playful, tender, and enjoys moments of closeness. SIKI however has a strong predatory instinct, especially towards cats and chickens. A home without small animals will therefore be essential for her well-being.

Siki a déjà connu plusieurs vies… Adoptée chiot en refuge, puis confiée à une autre famille, elle a malheureusement été abandonnée une nouvelle fois. Aujourd’hui, elle mérite enfin de trouver un foyer stable et aimant, pour la vie. Siki est une chienne sensible et un peu timide au premier abord. Elle a besoin de temps pour observer, comprendre et se sentir en confiance. Mais une fois ce lien créé, elle se révèle profondément attachante : fidèle, douce et très affectueuse. Dans son précédent foyer, Siki vivait avec de jeunes enfants, avec qui tout se passait bien. Elle est joueuse, tendre et apprécie les moments de complicité. Siki a cependant un fort instinct de prédation, notamment envers les chats et les poules. Un foyer sans petits animaux sera donc indispensable pour son équilibre.

About SIKI

What life with SIKI looks like

SIKI is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Chilleurs-aux-Bois in Chilleurs.

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 SIKI, answered.

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