Adopt DARYL

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hello, my name is DARYL! I arrived at the shelter after my time at the pound... No one came to get me, so I was let go. I'm energetic and full of life, and I'm well-behaved, which makes it easier for me to be adopted. In my foster home, I excel at resource and space protection++, so any additional work on that front will be necessary for you, as I didn't have that issue at the shelter. Regarding my interactions, I get along well with other animals of the same species, especially females, but we'll need to be very cautious with males... Cats are fine, but we'll avoid very young children. So, could this foster home be yours?. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. Note: this animal shows resource guarding.

Bonjour, moi c'est DARYL ! Je suis arrivé au refuge suite à mon passage par la fourrière... Personne n'est venu me récupérer, j'ai été mis dehors. Dynamique et plein de vie, je suis bien éduqué ce qui facilite ma prise en charge. En foyer je fais de la protection de ressources et d'espaces +++, alors ce petit truc en plus sera à travailler chez vous, car au refuge je ne pose pas ce problème. Concernant mes ententes, je suis sociable avec mes congénères surtout les femelles, il faudra être très vigilant avec les males... Les chats c'est ok mais nous éviterons les enfants en bas âge. Alors et si ce foyer c'était le votre ?

About DARYL

What life with DARYL looks like

DARYL is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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 DARYL, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about DARYL?
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 DARYL on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt DARYL 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 DARYL 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 DARYL 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 DARYL 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.
