Adopt BANDY

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

The beautiful BANDY arrived at the shelter from the pound. Although it may seem strange, a kind dog like him was put outside, and especially not claimed... Without identification, the pound was unable to contact his former family. BANDY is lively and full of life, so we are looking for a home that matches him: dynamic, sporty, and that will accept him for the next 15 years. If there are children in the home, they should preferably be older. Maybe that's you, isn't it? Come meet him!

Le beau BANDY est arrivé au refuge en provenance de la fourrière. Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraitre, un gentil chien comme lui a été mis dehors, et surtout non réclamé... Sans identification, impossible pour la fourrière de prendre contact avec son ancienne famille. BANDY est pétillant et plein de vie, donc nous lui recherchons un foyer à son image : dynamique, sportif et qui l'assumera pendant les 15 prochaines années. S'il y a des enfants dans le foyer, il sera préférable qu'ils soient déjà grands. C'est peut-être vous ça, non ? Venez le rencontrer !

About BANDY

What life with BANDY looks like

BANDY is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

An young 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 BANDY, answered.

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