Milou

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 7 years

Milou est un gentil toutou, comme tout bon labrador qui se respecte il adore les humains ! Il a encore un peu de mal avec les autres chiens mais Milou est accompagné par un éducateur afin d'apprendre à mieux se présenter aux autres ! En effet il n'a pas reçu beaucoup d'éducation plus jeune, il vivait dans la rue avec son humain qui a dû nous laisser Milou à contre coeur.. Milou a encore du mal à profiter pleinement de ses balades, il a tendance à beaucoup tirer et n'est pas tout à fait détendu, le contexte stressant du refuge ne l'aidant pas.. Les joggeurs, vélos (et autres choses qui vont un peu trop vite à son goût) le font réagir lorsqu'il se promène, nul doute qu'il ne leur veut rien de mal mais il ne connaît pas et ne comprend pas trop le pourquoi du comment ! Avec du temps et de la patience, il pourra se sentir plus apaisé lors de ses sorties pour enfin découvrir le monde !

About Milou

What life with Milou looks like

Milou is an adult labrador retriever dog waiting at APAGI in Le Versoud.

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. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Milou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Milou?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAGI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Milou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Milou if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAGI 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Milou 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 Milou 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 APAGI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Milou 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.
