OLAF

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

OLAF is an exceptional dog, close to humans, curious and eager to learn. Behind his attentive gaze and small ears ready to catch every movement lies a playful companion, lively and full of zest for life. Every moment spent with him is an opportunity to discover his intelligence, his mischief, and his desire to share genuine moments of complicity. OLAF tolerates other dogs but does not get along with cats. He does not appreciate sudden manipulations, which is why he will need a patient and attentive family ready to offer him the time necessary to build a strong relationship of trust. For the right person, OLAF will be a true ray of sunshine: a loyal, affectionate, and sensitive companion who will reward every act of kindness with sincere and deep love. Offering a chance to OLAF, is to welcome into your life a dog with a unique character and extraordinary potential.

Olaf est un chien exceptionnel, proche de l’humain, curieux et avide d’apprendre. Derrière son regard attentif et ses petite oreilles prêtes à capter chaque geste se cache un compagnon joueur, vif et rempli de joie de vivre. Chaque moment passé à ses côtés est l’occasion de découvrir son intelligence, sa malice et son désir de partager de vrais instants de complicité. Olaf tolère les autres chiens, mais ne s’entend pas avec les chats. Il n’apprécie pas les manipulations brusques, et c’est pourquoi il aura besoin d’une famille patiente et attentive, prête à lui offrir le temps nécessaire pour construire une relation de confiance solide. Pour la bonne personne, Olaf sera un véritable rayon de soleil : un compagnon loyal, affectueux et sensible, qui saura récompenser chaque geste de bienveillance par un amour sincère et profond. Offrir une chance à Olaf, c’est accueillir dans sa vie un chien au caractère unique et au potentiel extraordinaire.

About OLAF

What life with OLAF looks like

OLAF is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Vitré in Vitre.

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. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting OLAF, answered.

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