TOM

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 8 years

TOM needs time to build a bond; once comfortable, he enjoys petting but dislikes constraints and handling. It's important to learn how to read his behavior to respect him and allow for a gentle, gradual adaptation at his own pace. We will not place him with young children due to his sensitivity to handling.

FR·Show original

Tom a besoin de temps pour créer du lien, une fois en confiance il appréciera les caresses mais n'aime pas la contrainte et les manipulations. Il est important de savoir le lire pour le respecter et prendre du temps pour une adapataion à son rythme et en douceur. Nous ne le placerons pas avec de jeunes enfants au vu de sa sensibilité aux manipulations.

About TOM

What life with TOM looks like

TOM is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Jean Leriche) in Moree.

An 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 TOM, answered.

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