Rico

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Mon histoire : Voici Rico est un adorable croisé Fox-Terrier de 11 ans, arrivé au refuge à la suite de l’hospitalisation de son propriétaire. Mon caractère : Malgré son âge, Rico est un petit chien énergique .Il adore les balades et sera ravi de partager de belles promenades avec sa future famille.C’est également un chien très proche de l’humain, qui adore les câlins, les moments de complicité et… son petit confort.Avec les autres chiens, Rico s’entend bien et pourra partager son quotidien avec un ou plusieurs copains.Avec les chats, en revanche, Rico n’est pas compatible. J'aime / J'aime pas : Avec les enfants, une vie de famille est tout à fait envisageable, à condition que les enfants respectent son espace, son rythme et ses besoins.Rico est un petit gabarit d’environ 8 kg.À 11 ans, Rico mérite de retrouver un foyer chaleureux, stable et aimant, où il pourra profiter pleinement de ses belles années, entre promenades, câlins et siestes confortables.

About Rico

What life with Rico looks like

Rico is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷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 Rico, answered.

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