TAYCO

Male · Young · 3 years

Description: I was abandoned when I was only 11 months old because I had trouble being alone. Sensitive and fearful of strangers, I need to feel safe. At 3 years old today, I have good educational foundations, but I still need companionship. My adopter will be available and active, knowing the specific needs of a working dog breed, and will provide the physical and mental activities necessary for my well-being. It is preferable that there are no children in the household. Let’s get to know each other at the shelter! (Don’t judge my behavior in the kennel; you have to understand that a dog’s life is not in a shelter…). Photos © Sébastien Ducasse (sebastienducasse.com)

Descriptif :J’ai été abandonné alors que je n’avais que 11 mois, parce que j’avais du mal à rester seul. Sensible, craintif avec les inconnus, j’ai besoin de me sentir en confiance. Agé aujourd’hui de 3 ans, j’ai acquis de bonnes bases d’éducation, mais j’ai encore besoin d’accompagnement. Mon adoptant sera disponible pour moi et actif, il connaitra les besoins spécifiques à ma race de « chien de travail », et m’offrira les activités physiques et mentales nécessaires à mon bien-être. Il est préférable qu’il n’y ait pas d’enfant au foyer. Apprenons à nos connaitre au refuge ! (Ne vous fiez pas à mon comportement en box, il faut comprendre que la vie d’un toutou n’est pas dans un refuge…). Photos ©Sébastien Ducasse (sebastienducasse.com)

About TAYCO

What life with TAYCO looks like

TAYCO is a young adult dog waiting at SPA de Lyon et du Sud-Est in France.

An young 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 TAYCO, answered.

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