Adopt Rambo

Labrador Retriever · Male

About Adoption Lost/Found Help us Contact Rambo is a calm dog who gives his trust to people who spend time with him. Rather distant when he does not know someone, he becomes close to the people he likes. Note that Rambo does not like big hugs and caresses, his independence must be respected, especially during the first months of adoption! He will need that his need for quietness is respected, and that he is given time to adapt to this big change that is adoption! A positive and respectful education will be necessary for a beautiful relationship to develop between this wonderful dog and his adopters! At the shelter since 02/11/19 (Return from adoption: growling)

À propos À l'adoption Perdus/Trouvés Nous aider Contact > Rambo est un paisible loulou qui donne sa confiance aux personnes qui passent du temps avec lui. Assez distant lorsqu'il ne connait pas, il devient néanmoins vite proche des personnes qu'il apprécie. Attention, Rambo n'appréciant pas les gros câlins et les caresses, son indépendance devra être respectée, surtout les premiers mois d'adoption ! Il aura besoin que l'on respecte son besoin de tranquillité, et qu'on lui laisse du temps pour s'adapter à ce gros changement qu'est l'adoption ! Une éducation positive et respectueuse sera nécessaire pour qu'une belle relation s'installe entre ce magnifique chien et ses adoptants ! Au refuge depuis le 02/11/19 (Retour d'adoption : grognements)

About Rambo

What life with Rambo looks like

Rambo is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at L'Arche de Noé ASBL - SPA Maisières in Mons.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rambo, answered.

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