VAILLANT

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 3 years

Arrivé au refuge après un passage en fourrière, notre beau croisé Labrador VAILLANT, a dû patienter plusieurs mois avant de pouvoir espérer une nouvelle vie. Une longue attente pour ce chien pourtant si attachant… Calme, doux et d’une grande gentillesse, il apprécie particulièrement les moments de tendresse et ne dit jamais non à quelques câlins. Aujourd’hui, il mérite enfin de quitter le refuge pour trouver une famille qui saura lui offrir l’affection et la tranquillité qu’il recherche. Un adorable compagnon qui n’attend plus qu’une chose : poser ses valises dans un foyer aimant et recevoir tout l’amour qu’il mérite.

About VAILLANT

What life with VAILLANT looks like

VAILLANT is a young adult labrador retriever 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.

🇫🇷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 VAILLANT, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about VAILLANT?
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 VAILLANT on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt VAILLANT 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 VAILLANT 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 VAILLANT 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 VAILLANT 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.
