CARAMEL

Labrador Retriever · Male · 7 years

Caramel arrived at the shelter through a transfer from another organization. Imposing at first glance, he doesn't always present himself well at his kennel gate because he's uncomfortable in the noisy environment. However, looking beyond this first impression reveals an adorable dog with an immense heart. Caramel is gentle, kind, very cuddly and incredibly affectionate with those who take time to know him. He seeks a calm home where he can finally enjoy a cozy bed and peaceful life. He doesn't get along with cats, but seems to ignore other dogs; we think he could share daily life with a calm female. Caramel can also live with older children capable of respecting his pace and sensitivity. He deserves a family who will offer the gentleness and security he has long awaited.

About CARAMEL

What life with CARAMEL looks like

CARAMEL is a large adult labrador retriever cat waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

Note from the shelter: Needs quiet environment, sensitive to noise and stress

🇫🇷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 CARAMEL, answered.

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