Adopt GIMMY

Labrador Retriever · Female · Puppy · 4 months

I'm still discovering the world and have a lot to learn about family life: cleanliness, house rules, walking on a leash, playtime… and most importantly, all the love and patience a family can offer. Adopting a puppy is not a fleeting whim; it's a commitment for many years. It will take time, education, presence, and a lot of kindness to help me become a balanced and happy companion. In return, I will offer you beautiful moments of intimacy, tenderness, and unlimited loyalty. To meet me, please book an appointment by email:

Je découvre encore le monde et j’ai tout à apprendre de la vie de famille : la propreté, les règles de la maison, la marche en laisse, les moments de jeu… et surtout tout l’amour et la patience qu’une famille peut offrir. Adopter un chiot, ce n’est pas un coup de cœur passager : c’est un engagement pour de nombreuses années. Il faudra du temps, de l’éducation, de la présence et beaucoup de bienveillance pour m’aider à devenir un compagnon équilibré et heureux. En échange, je vous offrirai de beaux moments de complicité, de tendresse et une fidélité sans limite. Pour venir me rencontrer, merci de prendre rendez-vous par mail :

About GIMMY

What life with GIMMY looks like

GIMMY is a puppy/kitten labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Laon in Laon.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷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 GIMMY, answered.

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