Adopt UKYO

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

UKYO had a first life with a family before returning to the shelter following the death of its former owner. He has now arrived with his companion RÉGLISSE, with whom he shares a very strong bond. The ideal situation for them would be to be adopted together. UKYO is a sensitive and reserved dog at first meeting. He needs time to feel secure, but once reassured, he turns out to be tender, gentle, and very tactile. He is particularly at ease with women and enjoys outings, walks, and quiet moments with his humans. He is a gentle, endearing, and sociable companion: he gets along with dogs and cats. Come meet UKYO and, why not, the duo he forms with RÉGLISSE.

Il est particulièrement à l’aise avec les femmes et apprécie les sorties, les balades et les moments calmes avec ses humains. C’est un compagnon doux, attachant et sociable : il s’entend avec les chiens et les chats. Venez découvrir UKYO et, pourquoi pas, le duo qu’il forme avec RÉGLISSE.

About UKYO

What life with UKYO looks like

UKYO is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Le Mans (Yvré-L'Évêque).

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.

Note from the shelter: Prefers women over men, would benefit from being adopted with his companion Reglisse

🇫🇷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 UKYO, answered.

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