Taya

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 2 years

Taya is a 3-year-old small husky/Labrador mix weighing 14 kg. She has heterochromia, meaning her eyes are different colors. Taya came to the shelter after a separation and lived with another dog from the Austin shelter. She can be a bit timid: she needs time to observe, get her bearings, and come on her own terms. Once she feels comfortable, she will reveal her affectionate side and become close to those she trusts. Avoid rushing or forcing her; trust is built naturally. Very food-motivated (a real asset for bonding), Taya is a pleasant and easygoing dog when her environment is reassuring. We are looking for a patient, caring family for Taya who will give her the time to flourish and show all the love she has to offer.

About Taya

What life with Taya looks like

Taya is a medium-sized young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Le refuge du Penthièvre et du Méné in France.

An young 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 Taya, answered.

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