About Malia

What life with Malia looks like

Malia is a senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Aid Animaux 44 in Châteaubriant.

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, and shelters often cover sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and a passport. Confirm with the shelter what is included. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Malia?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Aid Animaux 44 handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Malia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Malia if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Aid Animaux 44 whether they will for Malia, what they require (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 Malia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Malia. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Aid Animaux 44, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Malia isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Aid Animaux 44 about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Malia 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.
