tyson

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 11 years

Tyson was abandoned at the shelter following his owner's death. He's a very gentle, playful dog who is close to humans and enjoys sharing moments and attention. Tyson can live in the city and gets along with other dogs, provided proper introductions are made. His behavior with cats is unknown. He may show slight resource guarding around his food bowl (if bothered), but with an appropriate framework and good habits, this is manageable. Tyson is a playful dog who will need good physical and mental exercise daily to be well-balanced. Come meet him!

About tyson

What life with tyson looks like

tyson is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

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.

Note from the shelter: Shows slight resource guarding around food bowl when bothered, but manageable with proper training and structure

🇫🇷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 tyson, answered.

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