Adopt YOKO

Male · Adult · 4 years

YOKO is a gentle and sociable dog; don't be fooled by his large size: YOKO is a sensitive pup who needs tenderness and can react negatively to sudden movements (we should avoid the presence of young children who might stress him). YOKO gets along well with other dogs of the same species, but we don't know how he interacts with cats.

Read original (fr)

Yoko est un chien gentil et sociable; ne vous fiez pas à son grand gabarit: Yoko est un loulou sensible, qui a besoin de douceur et peut se braquer devant des gestes trop brusques (on évitera la présence de jeunes enfants qui pourraient le stresser). Yoko s'entend bien avec ses congénères, nous ne connaissons pas son entente avec les chats.

About YOKO

What life with YOKO looks like

YOKO is a large adult dog waiting at SPA Torreilles in Torreilles.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Sensitive dog who needs gentle handling, can become defensive with sudden movements

🇫🇷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 YOKO, answered.

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