Mowgli

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 10 years

I'm Mowgli, and I've been behind bars for more than 5 years. I was abandoned because I didn't know how to stay alone, and I would destroy things. The presence of children, male dogs and cats is not recommended. A test with a calm female dog can be arranged. Mowgli is looking for contact with people; however, he has a strong personality and may, for example, growl if someone tries to take his toy. The adoption fee is a maximum of 50€, and an additional donation to the shelter is of course welcome. The animal is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and neutered. He has also had a senior health check, which includes blood and urine tests and a chest X-ray: he has arthritis in his hindquarters. As the adopter of a senior, you will benefit from the "opération doyen" of 30 Millions d'Amis: "For all dogs or cats over 10 years old adopted from our shelter, the foundation undertakes to cover any veterinary costs up to 1000€." A certificate of commitment and of knowledge

Moi, c'est Mowgli, je suis derrière les barreaux depuis plus de 5 ans. J'ai été abandonné car je ne savais pas rester seul, je détruisais. La présence d'enfants, de chiens mâles et de chats est déconseillé. Un test avec une chienne cool peut être fait. Mowgli est en recherche de contact avec les gens, il a cependant un fort caractère, il peut, par exemple, grogner si on veut prendre son jouet. L’adoption est de maximum 50€, un don supplémentaire est bien sûr possible pour le refuge. L’animal est pucé, vacciné, déparasité et castré. Il a aussi bénéficié d’un bilan de santé sénior qui comprend un bilan sanguin et urinaire et une radio thoracique : il a de l'arthrose au niveau du train arrière. En tant qu’adoptant d’un sénior, vous bénéficierez de l’opération doyen de 30 millions d’amis : « pour tous les chiens ou chats de plus de 10 ans adoptés dans notre refuge, la fondation s’engage à régler les éventuels frais vétérinaires à hauteur de 1000€. » Un certificat d'engagement et de connais

About Mowgli

What life with Mowgli looks like

Mowgli is a senior labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA de Périgueux in France.

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 Mowgli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mowgli?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SPA de Périgueux handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mowgli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mowgli 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 SPA de Périgueux whether they will for Mowgli, 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 Mowgli already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: SPA de Périgueux lists Mowgli as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SPA de Périgueux, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mowgli isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SPA de Périgueux about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mowgli 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.
