Icare

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

I am ICARE! I am a 6-month-old Griffon and before you ask: yes, this mustache is natural. I wake up looking like that every morning. I am still a teenager so my schedule is very busy: Play. Play again. Take a 12-minute power nap. Play again. With other dogs? No problem! Girls, boys... I'm all about socializing. Humans? Ah... there I completely melt. A pat, a hug, a kind word and I am transformed into a marshmallow on legs. They say I am kindness incarnate. I wouldn't dare praise myself... but they are right. My only little flaw? I still haven't found MY family. Frankly, it's a bit much, isn't it? With a head like that and a heart so big, I thought it would be settled long ago! So if you are looking for a funny, tender, sociable companion with the most elegant mustache of his generation... look no further. My name is ICARE, and I am waiting for you. Promised, I will even share the couch... well... a little bit.

Salut, moi c’est ICARE ! Je suis un jeune griffon de 6 mois, et avant que vous ne demandiez : oui, cette barbichette est naturelle. Je me réveille beau comme ça tous les matins. Je suis encore un ado, donc j’ai un programme très chargé : Jouer. Rejouer. Faire une micro-sieste de 12 minutes. Rejouer encore. Avec les autres chiens ? Aucun souci ! Filles, garçons… moi, je fais dans la convivialité. Les humains ? Ah… là, je fonds complètement. Une caresse, un câlin, un mot gentil et me voilà transformé en guimauve sur pattes. On dit de moi que je suis la gentillesse incarnée. Je n’oserais pas me lancer des fleurs… mais bon, ils ont raison. Mon seul petit défaut ? Je n’ai toujours pas trouvé MA famille. Franchement, c’est un peu abusé, non ? Avec une tête pareille et un cœur aussi grand, je pensais que ce serait réglé depuis longtemps ! Alors si vous cherchez un compagnon drôle, tendre, sociable et doté de la plus élégante barbichette de sa génération… ne cherchez plus. Je m’appelle ICARE, et je vous attends. Promis, je partagerai même le canapé… enfin… un petit bout.

About Icare

What life with Icare looks like

Icare is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at S.P.A Vauclusienne in Piégon.

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 Icare, answered.

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