Adopt Izzo

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 2 years

My story: Izzo, a 2-year-old labrador cross border collie, arrived at our shelter after a stay at a pound. At first, he is a shy dog, but he quickly opens up to people who take the time to get to know him. My personality: Izzo is a rather independent pup who also enjoys his quiet moments. He gets along well with the females of his species, and the interactions with the males will need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. He hasn't been tested with cats yet. Very greedy, Izzo never turns down a treat and loves to take long sunbaths. He also enjoys exploring new trails during his walks. Likes / Dislikes: A family without young children will be ideal for him, as he will not be comfortable around them. Playful, Izzo particularly loves balloons and stuffed animals, with which he takes great pleasure in playing. Izzo now awaits a family that respects his pace, ready to offer him the stability and affection he needs to thrive. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

Mon histoire : Izzo, un labrador croisé berger de 2 ans, est arrivé au refuge après un passage en fourrière.C’est un chien timide au premier abord, mais qui accorde très rapidement sa confiance aux personnes qui prennent le temps de le connaître. Mon caractère : Izzo est un loulou plutôt indépendant, qui apprécie également ses moments de tranquillité. Il s’entend bien avec les femelles de son espèce et les ententes avec les mâles seront à évaluer au cas par cas.Il n’a pas encore été testé avec les chats.Très gourmand, Izzo ne dit jamais non à une friandise et aime profiter de longues siestes au soleil. Il adore également partir à la découverte de nouveaux sentiers lors de ses promenades. J'aime / J'aime pas : Une famille sans enfant en bas âge sera recherchée pour lui, car il ne sera pas à l’aise en leur présence.Joueur, Izzo aime particulièrement les ballons ainsi que les peluches, avec lesquels il prend beaucoup de plaisir à s’amuser.Izzo attend désormais une famille respectueuse de son rythme, prête à lui offrir la stabilité et l’affection dont il a besoin pour s’épanouir pleinement.

About Izzo

What life with Izzo looks like

Izzo is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷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 Izzo, answered.

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