Adopt IPA (réservé)

Male · Puppy · 4 months

Hello, my name is IPA, an adorable puppy full of life! I just arrived at our shelter with my brothers and uncles, and they are still getting to know me. I am the calmest of the litter: cuddles and tender moments with humans are my favorite. I am a puppy who will need training and a human ready to accompany and invest in my learning to become a great companion. Despite his cute little face, IPA has some specific needs that we will explain directly at the shelter and which will require additional fees. So, come meet him soon!

Frequently asked

Adopting IPA (réservé), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about IPA (réservé)?

Can I adopt IPA (réservé) if I live in another country?

Is IPA (réservé) 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.

What happens if IPA (réservé) 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 Bouguenais) early rather than rehoming privately; they know IPA (réservé) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
