Lucky

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 8 years

Mon histoire : Voici Lucky, un adorable croisé Berger Allemand de 8 ans, qui mérite aujourd’hui de connaître enfin la douceur et la sécurité d’un véritable foyer.Lucky est arrivé au refuge après avoir été retiré pour maltraitance. Il avait été laissé seul à son domicile pendant les vacances de ses propriétaires, sans nourriture ni eau, livré à lui-même. Lorsqu’il est arrivé au refuge, il était dans un état squelettique. Mais grâce aux soins, à l’attention et à l’amour qui lui ont été apportés, Lucky a repris du poids et des forces. Mon caractère : Aujourd’hui, il est prêt à tourner la page et à commencer une nouvelle vie. C’est un chien extrêmement affectueux et proche de l’humain. Lucky apprécie énormément la présence de ses humains et a besoin de pouvoir partager son quotidien avec eux. J'aime / J'aime pas : C’est un vrai chien de famille, qui aime les câlins, la tranquillité et… son petit confort ! Lucky connaît également la vie de famille : il a été habitué aux enfants et s’entend très bien avec les chats, avec lesquels il a vécu. Il apprécie aussi la compagnie de ses congénères.Après tout ce qu’il a vécu, Lucky mérite aujourd’hui une famille qui lui offrira enfin ce qu’il aurait toujours dû avoir : de l’amour, de la sécurité, de la présence et un foyer pour la vie.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

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 Lucky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lucky?
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 Lucky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lucky 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 Lucky 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 Lucky 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 Lucky 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.
