JOEY

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 4 years

Joey nous vient du refuge de Luynes où il n'a malheureusement pas trouvé sa famille, nous espérons donc la trouver ici. Joey est un chien très dynamique avec un grand besoin de dépense physique. En box, il s'excite et saute aux barreaux, mais une fois sorti, on découvre un tout autre aspect de sa personnalité. Câlin, proche de l'Homme et joueur, il s'arrête régulièrement pour attendre des caresses. Il pourra vivre avec de grands enfants. Il réagit aux chiens en balade, ce pourquoi nous ne l'avons pas encore testé au contact de ses congénères.

About JOEY

What life with JOEY looks like

JOEY is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Albi (Le Garric) in Albi.

An 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 JOEY, answered.

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