Ugo

Male · Adult · 5 years

Ugo came to us from a transfer following an adoption failure at his previous shelter. He’s a little guy who has a strong need for mental and physical stimulation and struggles to manage his excitement in his kennel. But once he’s out for a walk, Ugo observes carefully, sniffs around, and enjoys himself calmly.

FR·Show original

Ugo nous arrive d'un transfert suite à un echec d'adoption à son ancien refuge. C'est un loulou qui a un fort besoin de dépense, aussi bien mentale que physique, et qui a du mal à gérer son excitation en box. Mais une fois en balade, Ugo observe, renifle et profite calmement.

About Ugo

What life with Ugo looks like

Ugo is a adult dog waiting at SPA Albi (Le Garric) in Albi.

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 Ugo, answered.

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