Adopt ORTHYE

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 8 years

ORTHYE comes from a breeder and hasn't experienced much yet. She can therefore be a bit shy at first in a new environment. But once she feels safe, she's a real little love bug, sweet and very endearing. This little grandma is looking for a calm and loving home today to finally enjoy a peaceful retirement, surrounded by tenderness and kindness.

Read original (fr)

Orthye arrive d’élevage et n’a pas connu grand-chose jusqu’à présent. Elle peut donc se montrer craintive au premier abord dans un nouvel environnement. Mais une fois en confiance, c’est une véritable petite pot de colle, douce et très attachante. Cette petite mamie recherche aujourd’hui un foyer calme et aimant pour profiter enfin d’une retraite paisible, entourée de tendresse et de bienveillance.

About ORTHYE

What life with ORTHYE looks like

ORTHYE 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting ORTHYE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ORTHYE?
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 ORTHYE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ORTHYE 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 ORTHYE 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 ORTHYE 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 ORTHYE 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.
