Adopt Mochi

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 3 years

My story: Mochi, a 3-year-old labrador-cross border collie, arrived at our shelter after a stay at a pound. He can be reserved with certain people during the first meetings but quickly seeks cuddles once trust is established. My personality: When he feels at ease, Mochi becomes a real social butterfly who adores human company. He gets along well with other dogs and particularly enjoys sharing moments of calm and naps with them. Mochi is also compatible with cats. We are looking for a family without young children, as their presence could make him uncomfortable. Likes / Dislikes: We are looking for a family without young children, as their presence could make him uncomfortable. Curious and sensitive to his environment, he loves rolling in the grass and discovering new scents during his walks. Mochi is waiting for a patient and kind family to give him the home he deserves. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children. This animal is for adult-only homes.

Mon histoire : Mochi, un labrador croisé border collie de 3 ans, est arrivé au refuge après un passage en fourrière.C’est un chien qui peut se montrer réservé avec certaines personnes lors des premières rencontres, mais il vient rapidement réclamer des câlins une fois la confiance installée. Mon caractère : Quand il se sent à l’aise, Mochi devient un véritable pot de colle qui adore la compagnie des humains. Il s’entend très bien avec les autres chiens et apprécie particulièrement partager des moments de calme et de sieste avec eux.Mochi est également compatible avec les chats.Nous recherchons pour lui une famille sans enfant en bas âge, car leur présence pourrait le mettre mal à l’aise. J'aime / J'aime pas : Nous recherchons pour lui une famille sans enfant en bas âge, car leur présence pourrait le mettre mal à l’aise.Curieux et sensible à son environnement, il aime se rouler dans l’herbe et partir à la découverte de nouvelles odeurs lors de ses promenades.Mochi n’attend plus qu’une famille patiente et bienveillante pour lui offrir le foyer qu’il mérite.

About Mochi

What life with Mochi looks like

Mochi is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at APAA Trégrom 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 Mochi, answered.

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