How do I contact the shelter about IODA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Refuge Angoumois handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw IODA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt IODA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Refuge Angoumois 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 IODA 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 IODA 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 Refuge Angoumois early rather than rehoming privately; they know IODA 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.

IODA

Pug · Male · Senior · 13 years

He has the strong and outgoing personality typical of Pugs. He can be stubborn, but in the most adorable way 🥰 - another breed characteristic. As they feel safe, their own personality becomes more pronounced. For obvious reasons, it's best to avoid too many stairs, even if they can climb a few steps. They also know how to use a cat flap! They are able to solve problems and don't hesitate to open doors or gates if they are not properly locked 😂 Once they trust you, they follow you everywhere, all the time. You should also be careful and impose rest periods during the day! Especially in hot weather, but also when they get too agitated. They make good nights and are clean. He has no problems with other dogs, whether they are big, small, old or young. He eats properly, but their food must be soft (softened kibble) to facilitate eating, as their dentition is fragile. He has no problems and eats willingly in the presence of my other dogs. However, he eats slowly due to his flat face and fragile dentition, so you must make sure that the other dogs don't chase him away from his bowl. Current diet: Ultra Premium Direct Sensitive and cooked chicken.

FR·Show original

Il possède cette personnalité forte et extravertie typique des carlins. Il peut se montrer têtus, mais de la manière la plus adorable qui soit 🥰 — encore un trait caractéristique de la race. À mesure qu’ils se sentent en sécurité, leur personnalité propre s’affirme davantage. Pour des raisons évidentes, il vaut mieux éviter les escaliers trop nombreux, même s’ils sont capables d’en gravir quelques marches. Ils savent aussi utiliser une chatière ! Ils sont capables de résoudre des problèmes et n’hésitent pas à ouvrir portes ou portails s’ils ne sont pas correctement verrouillés 😂 Une fois qu’ils vous font confiance, ils vous suivent partout, tout le temps. Il faut d’ailleurs y veiller et leur imposer des temps de repos au cours de la journée ! Surtout par temps chaud, mais aussi lorsqu’ils s’agitent trop. Ils font de bonnes nuits et sont propres. Il ne présente aucun problème avec les autres chiens, qu’ils soient grands, petits, âgés ou jeunes. Il mange correctement, mais leur nourriture doit être tendre (croquettes ramollies) pour faciliter la prise alimentaire, car leur dentition est fragile. Il ne pose aucun problème et mange volontiers en présence de mes autres chiens. Cependant, il mange lentement en raison de sa face plate et de sa dentition fragile, il faut donc veiller à ce que les autres chiens ne le chassent pas de sa gamelle. Alimentation actuelle : Ultra Premium Direct Sensitive et poulet cuit.

About IODA

What life with IODA looks like

IODA is a small senior pug dog waiting at Refuge Angoumois in Angoulême.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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.
