Récupéré par la fourrière en 2023, passé par plusieurs refuges, Lacoste attend depuis trop longtemps. Le refuge de Vitré en est convaincu : sa famille est là, pas très loin. Et si c'était vous ? Ce petit chien plein d'énergie va vous faire craquer ! Affectueux, attentif, fan de grandes balades, de balle et de pouic-pouic, il rendra chaque moment joyeux. Grand ami des autres chiens, il communique parfaitement avec ses congénères. Comme beaucoup de chiens au parcours difficile, Lacoste a ses limites : il n'apprécie pas être caressé ou manipulé. Il ne pourra pas vivre avec de jeunes enfants ni des chats, et aura besoin d'une famille bienveillante qui respecte son espace. Il a été classé 2/4 à son évaluation comportementale. Lacoste est le rayon de soleil qui vous manquait !

About LACOSTE

What life with LACOSTE looks like

Frequently asked

Adopting LACOSTE, answered.

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