How do I contact the shelter about ASTON?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Rennes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ASTON on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ASTON if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Rennes 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 ASTON 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 ASTON 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 Rennes early rather than rehoming privately; they know ASTON 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.

ASTON

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 6 years

Currently in family foster care! ASTON is an extremely charming dog who is very close to humans. He is also very social with other animals of the same species and may eventually live with a cat, depending on the introductions. ASTON unfortunately has some health issues. He had a cyst near his spine which was removed, and this requires a period of behavioral rehabilitation. He also suffers from a herniated disc. Despite this, ASTON remains a lively and energetic dog who just wants to find his forever family. He will appreciate short daily walks that are adapted to his condition but will not be able to follow long hikes. We will look for a home for him that is without stairs to climb daily. The presence of a garden would be a real plus for his comfort and well-being. ASTON deserves a gentle and attentive family ready to offer him the stability, care, and love he needs.

!Actuelement en famille relais! Aston est un chien extrêmement attachant et très proche de l’humain. Il est également très sociable avec ses congénères et pourra éventuellement vivre avec un chat, selon les présentations. Aston a malheureusement quelques soucis de santé. Il présentait un kyste près de la colonne vertébrale qui lui a été retiré, celle ci nécessite une période de rééducation. Il souffre également d’une hernie discale. Malgré cela, Aston reste un chien plein de vie et d’énergie, qui ne demande qu’à trouver enfin sa famille pour la vie. Il appréciera de petites balades quotidiennes, adaptées à son état, mais ne pourra pas suivre de longues randonnées. Nous rechercherons pour lui un foyer sans escaliers à monter quotidiennement. La présence d’un jardin serait un vrai plus pour son confort et son bien-être. Aston mérite une famille douce et attentive, prête à lui offrir la stabilité, les soins et l’amour dont il a besoin.

About ASTON

What life with ASTON looks like

ASTON is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

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.

🇫🇷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.
