FR·Show original

Biniou est un croisé Labrador au tempérament doux et équilibré. Gentil et tranquille, il apprécie la compagnie des humains et recherche volontiers leur présence. Il a quelques dépilations à certains endroits, probablement que dans son passé il n'était pas traité contre les puces. Il verra le vétérinaire à ce sujet. Affectueux et sociable, il aime les moments de partage, les caresses et les promenades calmes. Un compagnon agréable, proche de l’humain et facile à vivre.

About Biniou

What life with Biniou looks like

Biniou is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Le Bois Pinson) in Bois Pinson.

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 Biniou, answered.

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