Adopt HARIBO

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

HARIBO arrived with us via a transfer from another shelter. This is a young, extremely affectionate dog who is very close to humans and will need a calm family to help channel his "frolicsome" side. HARIBO is social with other animals of the same species (tests will be conducted at the shelter for any potential cohabitation), but we are still unsure about his compatibility with cats. This big, sensitive soul sometimes has a bit of trouble managing his emotions: we would prefer a placement with large, respectful children! Our beloved HARIBO is just waiting for a family that can understand him to make a perfect pair. With HARIBO, life is beautiful!. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

Read original (fr)

Haribo est un jeune chien débordant d’affection, très proche de l’humain et toujours en quête de tendresse. Derrière son côté un peu “foufou” se cache un grand sensible qui aura besoin d’une famille calme et bienveillante pour l’aider à canaliser ses émotions. Sociable avec ses congénères, il pourra partager de belles balades avec pour son plus grand plaisir ! Des tests devront toutefois être réalisés au refuge pour toute future cohabitation. Son entente avec les chats est encore inconnue. Haribo n’attend plus qu’une famille capable de le comprendre et de partager avec lui une belle histoire de complicité. Avec Haribo, c’est beau la vie !

About HARIBO

What life with HARIBO looks like

HARIBO is a large young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Orgeval in Orgeval.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Emotional management needs, requires calm family environment

🇫🇷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 HARIBO, answered.

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