Can I adopt Oggy if I live in another country?

Adopt Oggy

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 9 years

Oggy is this endearing companion who, in confidence, will offer you sincere and overflowing love. A lover of walks and a fan of rolling around in the grass, he will make every outing joyful and intimate. A simple, authentic happiness, as true as he is. He is waiting for the right people to flourish fully. Oggy has a long journey behind him, 5 years in a shelter: arriving at the pound in 2018, being adopted and then abandoned after 3 years, passing through the refuge in Yvré l’Évêque, Nantes… he now seeks his permanent home. He will be the ideal companion for adults or older teenagers who can respect his pace and give him the time to open up. Not very tactile, he appreciates presence without necessarily seeking cuddles. He must be the only animal in the household. His arthritis requires adapted walks and daily treatment. Oggy only wants to finally have the chance to stay.

About Oggy

What life with Oggy looks like

Oggy is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Le Bois Pinson) in Bois Pinson.

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.
