Stela

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 7 years

Ce that Stela loves above all is play: jumping, running, fetching the toy and bringing it back at her feet to continue the game, she is a fan! And although Stela doesn’t have a body of a sports champion, the lady has plenty of energy both in the yard and on walks and will need activities. Stela gets along well with males, a female to test.

FR·Show original

Ce que Stela adore avant tout est le jeu: sauter, courir, aller chercher le jouet et le ramener au pied pour continuer la partie, elle est fan! La demoiselle a de l’énergie autant en parc qu’en balade et aura besoin d’activités. C'est une chienne sociable et affectueuse. Stela s'entend bien avec les mâles, femelle à tester. Elle ne pourra pas cohabiter avec des chats.

About Stela

What life with Stela looks like

Stela is a large 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. 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 Stela, answered.

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