Adopt LOÏAL

Male · Adult · 6 years

Before arriving at LOÏAL, life was a chain around its neck, making it very wary. But in a short time, Lolo completely transformed! Today, LOÏAL is a lively dog who greets us with joy the moment he sees us and adores his new comfort. Lolo still has some lingering effects from his past and doesn't like being constrained, tending to guard his belongings after having suffered so much. While Lolo can be impressive in size, his heart is even larger, so don't let his big head intimidate you. A colossus with a heart of gold!

Avant d'arriver chez nous la vie de Loïal se résumait au bout de la chaîne qui lui serrait le cou, il était donc très méfiant mais en peu de temps Lolo s'est complètement métamorphosé! Aujourd'hui Loïal est un chien plein de vie qui nous fait la fête dès qu'il nous voit et adore son nouveau confort ! Lolo a tout de même des séquelles de son passé et n'aime pas la contrainte et a tendance à protéger ses affaires après avoir tant manqué. Si Lolo peut être impressionnant de par son gabarit son cœur en est d'autant plus grand alors ne vous laissez pas intimider par sa grosse tête. Un colosse au cœur d'or!

About LOÏAL

What life with LOÏAL looks like

LOÏAL is a adult dog waiting at SPA Vitré in Vitre.

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 LOÏAL, answered.

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