How do I contact the shelter about MAÏKO?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA 65 Tarbes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MAÏKO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt MAÏKO if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA 65 Tarbes 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 MAÏKO 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 MAÏKO 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 65 Tarbes early rather than rehoming privately; they know MAÏKO 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.

MAÏKO

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 3 years

Arrived on August 15, 2024, the handsome MAÏKO is up for adoption! Adopted as a puppy at our shelter, it's back to square one for him. Indeed, his owners didn't think they would be able to handle the cohabitation between their dog and their baby. MAÏKO is, however, a gentle, affectionate dog. Obedient and attentive, he has good training foundations. MAÏKO is a playful dog who loves water. Energetic, he never turns down a walk but knows how to enjoy quieter, more relaxed moments as well. If his future family already has one or more other this breeds, a meeting will have to take place to evaluate compatibility. However, no cohabitation is possible with our feline friends. MAÏKO deserves to find happiness with a loving and caring family, so come meet him—you won't regret it!!

Arrivé le 15 Août 2024 Le beau Maïko est à l’adoption ! Adopté chiot au refuge, c’est retour à la case départ pour lui.. En effet, ses propriétaires ne pensaient pas être en mesure de gérer la cohabitation entre leur chien et leur bébé.. Maïko est pourtant un gentil chien très affectueux. Obéissant et à l’écoute, il possède de bonnes bases d’éducation. Maïko est un chien joueur qui adore l’eau. Dynamique, il ne dit jamais non à une balade mais il sait aussi profiter des moments plus calmes et posés. Si sa future famille possède déjà un ou plusieurs congénères, une rencontre devra avoir lieu afin d’évaluer les ententes. En revanche, pas de cohabitation possible avec nos amis félins. Maïko mérite de retrouver le bonheur auprès d’une famille aimante et bienveillante alors venez le rencontrer, vous ne le regretterez pas !!

About MAÏKO

What life with MAÏKO looks like

MAÏKO is a large young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA 65 Tarbes in Tarbes.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
