Adopt APOLO

Shih Tzu · Male · Puppy · 11 months

APOLO is a lovely Shih Tzu mix who is just over 5 months old, a real ray of sunshine every day. Very close to people, he loves cuddles and moments of affection. He gets along perfectly with other animals of the same species as well as with cats. Children are also welcome as long as they know how to respect his space. Playful, curious and full of life, APOLO would be delighted to take advantage of a garden to run around and chase his ball. However, a life in an apartment would suit him just as well if he can benefit from nice regular and stimulating walks. Housebreaking is on the way, but still needs to be completed. Like any puppy, he will need patience, kindness and appropriate training to continue growing with confidence. Available in St Grégoire (35)

Apolo est un adorable croisé Shih Tzu âgé d’un peu plus de 5 mois, un vrai petit rayon de soleil au quotidien. Très proche de l’humain, il raffole des câlins et des moments de tendresse. Il s’entend parfaitement avec ses congénères ainsi qu’avec les chats. Les enfants sont également les bienvenus tant qu’ils savent respecter son espace. Joueur, curieux et plein de joie de vivre, Apolo serait ravi de profiter d’un jardin pour se dépenser et courir après son ballon. Cependant, une vie en appartement lui conviendra tout autant s’il peut bénéficier de belles promenades régulières et stimulantes. La propreté est en bonne voie, mais reste à finaliser. Comme tout chiot, il aura besoin de patience, de bienveillance et d’une éducation adaptée pour continuer à grandir en confiance. Visible à St Grégoire (35)

About APOLO

What life with APOLO looks like

APOLO is a puppy/kitten shih tzu dog waiting at Moustaches et Compagnie in moustaches et compagnie.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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 APOLO, answered.

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