LAPINOU

Beagle · Male · Senior · 11 years

Lapinou arrived at the shelter after being seized for mistreatment. He is an old German Shepherd who was only used for breeding and has a lot to learn (walking on a leash, cleanliness, solitude...). He is a gentle dog who is quite fearful because he knows nothing, so he will need to be gentle and patient with him. A dog that is already well-adjusted in the household could probably help him. We do not know his compatibility with cats, and he will not be able to live with very young children. A placement with a garden would allow him to learn to go outside. Feel free to come and meet him.

C'est un gentil loulou qui a pas mal de peurs car il ne connaît rien, il faudra être doux et patient avec lui Un chien bien dans ses pattes déjà présent au sein du foyer pourrait sûrement l'aider Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les chats, il ne pourra pas vivre avec de trop jeunes enfants Un placement avec un jardin permettrait de lui apprendre à sortir en extérieur N'hésitez pas à venir le rencontrer

About LAPINOU

What life with LAPINOU looks like

LAPINOU is a senior beagle dog waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting LAPINOU, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about LAPINOU?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Cabourg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw LAPINOU on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt LAPINOU if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Cabourg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is LAPINOU 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 LAPINOU 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 Cabourg early rather than rehoming privately; they know LAPINOU 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.
