SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎

Mixed Breed · Male

I am Shiro, a 7-year-old Labrador mix weighing 27 kg. I am a calm and affectionate dog who takes time to reveal his true nature when entering a new environment. I love cuddles and will come to you for them when I want, but I know when to leave. I enjoy sleeping at the foot of the bed at night and, although I may not always be aware of my 27 kg weight, I am surprisingly careful not to crush anyone when I settle in. I am calm at home, can be left alone, and am starting to show my playful side. I enjoy plush toys and chewing activities. With familiar humans, I am gentle and affectionate. I can handle daily handling, although my hind legs and rear end require careful handling due to dysplasia and associated pain. I live with an American Shepherd, and we get along well. We can be calm at home, and I am starting to initiate play. On walks, I can greet my friends and continue on my way. I am not interested in outdoor cats and ignore them. Coexistence could be possible. I walk well on a leash and am comfortable in the city. Bikes, scooters, or skateboards do not concern me. My main interest is smells! Health-wise, I have dysplasia that requires some precautions. I need to continue strengthening my hind leg muscles without excessive effort or activities that strain my joints. I am a simple companion: walks to sniff everything worthwhile, some toys, plenty of rest, good things to chew on, and, above all, humans to build a real relationship with. So give me a chance to enter your life!

Bonjour, moi c’est Shiro ! J’ai 7 ans, je suis un croisé Labrador de 27 kg, un grand chien calme et très attachant.Quand j’arrive dans un nouvel environnement, je me montre discret il me faudra un peu de temps pour dévoiler mon vrai caractère : un chien affectueux, joueur, proche de ses humains, mais qui sait aussi parfaitement profiter de ses moments de tranquillité.Les câlins, j’adore ça ! Je viens volontiers les chercher lorsque j’en ai envie, puis je sais repartir quand j’ai eu ma dose. Le soir, j’apprécie de dormir au pied du lit, et même si je ne suis pas toujours très conscient de mes 27 kilos, je fais étonnamment attention à ne pas écraser tout le monde lorsque je viens m’installer.À la maison, je suis calme, je sais me poser et je supporte bien les absences.Je commence aussi à montrer de plus en plus mon côté joueur. J’aime les peluches et les activités de mastication.Avec les humains que je connais, je suis très doux et câlin. Je supporte bien les manipulations du quotidien, même si mes pattes arrière et mon arrière-train doivent être manipulés avec précaution en raison d'une dysplasie et des douleurs associées.Je vis actuellement avec un Berger Américain avec lequel la cohabitation se passe très bien. Nous savons être calmes ensemble à la maison et je commence à initier des moments de jeu. En balade, je peux aller saluer mes copains puis poursuivre tranquillement ma route.Les chats croisés à l’extérieur m’intéressent très peu et je les ignore. Une cohabitation pourrait donc être envisageable.Je marche bien en laisse et je suis très à l’aise en ville. Vélos, trottinettes ou skates ne me préoccupent pas. Mon principal centre d’intérêt, ce sont les odeurs ! Côté santé, j'ai une dysplasie qui demande quelques précautions. Je dois continuer à renforcer ma musculature au niveau de l’arrière-train, sans multiplier les efforts trop intenses ou les activités qui sollicitent excessivement mes articulations. Je suis un compagnon assez simple : des balades pour renifler tout ce qui mérite de l’être, quelques jouets, beaucoup de repos, de bonnes choses à mâchouiller et surtout des humains avec qui créer une vraie relation.Alors laissez moi une chance d'entrer dans votre vie !

About SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎

What life with SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎ looks like

SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎ is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Ron'Rhône in Lyon.

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 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 SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Ron'Rhône handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎ on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎ if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Ron'Rhône 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 SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎ 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 SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎ 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 Association Ron'Rhône early rather than rehoming privately; they know SHIRO – 7.5 ans – ♂︎ 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.
