ODIN

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 9 years

Moi, c’est Odin, un adorable papy né en 2016. Ne vous fiez pas à mon âge : je suis encore en pleine forme, vif et toujours partant pour de belles balades ! J’aime profiter de mes sorties et découvrir tranquillement mon environnement. Ma petite particularité : je ne vois plus très bien. Il faudra donc être doux avec moi et éviter de me surprendre. Je préfère être le seul animal de la maison, car je ne m’entends pas vraiment avec les chiens ni avec les chats. En revanche, je peux vivre avec de grands enfants, capables de respecter mon besoin de calme et de douceur. ❤️ Je suis proposé en SOS adoption. Venez me rencontrer au refuge et laissez-moi vous montrer que les papys ont encore beaucoup d’amour et de belles années à partager !

About ODIN

What life with ODIN looks like

ODIN is a senior labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Forbach in Forbach.

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 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 ODIN, answered.

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