ozzy

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 6 years

ozzy is a lively and very playful fellow. He has always lived with a female companion, Stela, with whom he shares his pen and outdoor area in good harmony, each knowing the other well. He may get along with another dog, provided there is a proper introduction, as he can become excitable during play and rough. He cannot cohabit with cats.

FR·Show original

Ozzy est un beau loulou dynamique et très joueur. Il est également affectueux et proche de l'humain. Il a toujours vécu auprès d’une femelle, Stela, avec laquelle il partage ici son box et son parc en bonne entente, chacun connaissant parfaitement l'autre. Il pourra s'entendre avec un autre chien sous réserve de présentation, car il peut monter en excitation dans le jeu et devenir brusque. Ozzy souffre d'une pathologie cardiaque qui nécessitera un traitement à vie et un suivi vétérinaire régulier. Il ne pourra pas cohabiter avec des chats.

About ozzy

What life with ozzy looks like

ozzy is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Château-d'Olonne.

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 ozzy, answered.

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