How do I contact the shelter about Olympe?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Vannes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Olympe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Olympe if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Vannes 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 Olympe 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 Olympe 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 Vannes early rather than rehoming privately; they know Olympe 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.

Olympe

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 7 years

Olympe is a true hunting dog, always with her nose to the ground, searching for a new scent to follow—or a vole to unearth! Curious, energetic, and full of life, she’ll thrive in a family that offers her lovely forest walks as well as plenty of physical—and especially mental—stimulation, both of which are essential for her well-being. Olympe is a sensitive dog who needs her own pace to be respected. Physical contact isn’t always something she spontaneously enjoys; it’s important to pay attention to her signals and respect her consent. Once she feels safe and trusted, she reveals a wonderful personality and forms beautiful bonds with those who take the time to understand her. We’re looking for a gentle, patient, and committed family for her—one that’s ready to accompany her with kindness and compassion. In return, Olympe will become a fantastic adventure companion, endearing and full of character.

FR·Show original

Olympe est une véritable chienne de chasse, toujours le museau au sol à la recherche d'une nouvelle odeur à suivre… ou d'un mulot à dénicher ! Curieuse, dynamique et pleine de vie, elle s'épanouira auprès d'une famille qui lui offrira de belles balades en forêt ainsi que des dépenses physiques **et surtout mentales**, indispensables à son équilibre. Olympe est une chienne sensible, qui a besoin qu'on respecte son rythme. Le contact physique n'est pas toujours quelque chose qu'elle apprécie spontanément : il est important d'observer ses signaux et de respecter son consentement. Une fois en confiance, elle révèle une belle personnalité et crée de jolis liens avec les personnes qui prennent le temps de la comprendre. Nous recherchons pour elle une famille douce, patiente et investie, prête à l'accompagner avec bienveillance. En retour, Olympe deviendra une formidable compagne d'aventure, attachante et pleine de caractère.

About Olympe

What life with Olympe looks like

Olympe is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Vannes in Vannes.

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.
