UZO

Male · Senior · 18 years

UZO arrived at our shelter in 2019, already 6 years without the chance to meet his forever family... He doesn't have the most eye-catching profile, being discreet and not very close to humans. The team at the shelter is still working on building his trust. UZO came from a laboratory, but he shows no resentment or aggression towards humans; he simply needs time and gentleness to form a bond of trust. Currently, he lives in a pasture with other buddies, grazing on grass and hay. Veterinary care remains delicate, as does hoof trimming and annual dental care, which must be done in a calm environment, preferably with another animal of the same species (or sedated if he is extremely anxious). UZO deserves a peaceful life with a compassionate and patient family who also has some experience with sensitive equines.

UZO est arrivé au refuge en 2019, déjà 6 années sans avoir eu la chance de rencontrer sa famille pour la vie... Il faut dire qu'il n'a pas un profil qui attire beaucoup l'attention, discret et peu proche de l'Homme, l'équipe du refuge travaille encore sur sa mise en confiance. UZO nous vient d'un laboratoire, il ne montre cependant aucune rancune ni aucune agressivité envers l'humain, il a seulement besoin de temps et de douceur pour tisser un lien de confiance. Actuellement, il vit au pré avec d'autres copains, à l'herbe et au foin. Les soins vétérinaires restent encore délicats, tout comme le parage des pieds et l'entretien annuel des dents qui doivent s'effectuer dans le calme et proche d'un congénère (ou sédaté s'il se montre vraiment trop anxieux). UZO mérite une vie paisible auprès d'une famille bienveillante et patiente, qui possède tout de même une certaine expérience des équidés sensibles. Toise : 1m65

About UZO

What life with UZO looks like

UZO is a large senior animal waiting at SPA Grand Refuge de Pervenchères in Pervencheres.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows UZO far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

Note from the shelter: Ex-laboratory horse requiring patient handling for veterinary care, hoof trimming, and dental work. May need sedation for medical procedures.

🇫🇷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 UZO, answered.

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