Diego

Male · Adult · 8 years

đŸŸ Diego, une petite boule d’énergie Ă  la recherche de sa famille ❀ Diego est un joli Spitz japonais ĂągĂ© de 8 ans. Il est arrivĂ© chez nous Ă  la suite de changements dans la vie de ses propriĂ©taires. MalgrĂ© leur volontĂ© de bien faire, ils se sont retrouvĂ©s en difficultĂ© face aux besoins importants de Diego, notamment en matiĂšre d’éducation et de gestion de ses vocalises. Son comportement et ses aboiements importants Ă©taient Ă©galement devenus difficiles Ă  concilier avec leur environnement professionnel. Il a donc Ă©tĂ© dĂ©cidĂ© de lui offrir la possibilitĂ© de trouver un foyer davantage adaptĂ© Ă  ses besoins. đŸ¶ Son caractĂšre Lorsqu’il ne connaĂźt pas encore les personnes, Diego peut se montrer timide et rĂ©servĂ©. Une fois en confiance, il se rĂ©vĂšle affectueux, joyeux et surtout
 plein d’énergie ! C’est une vĂ©ritable petite pile Ă©lectrique âšĄïž Il peut Ă©galement avoir tendance Ă  sauter lorsqu’il est excitĂ©. 🎓 Son Ă©ducation Diego possĂšde quelques bases d’éducation, mais celles-ci devront ĂȘtre poursuivies et renforcĂ©es. Il ne connaĂźt notamment pas encore le rappel et a tendance Ă  fuguer. Il sait rester seul, ce qui est un point positif. Diego peut toutefois se montrer trĂšs rĂ©actif face Ă  certains Ă©lĂ©ments de son environnement. Il a notamment peur de ce qui passe rapidement Ă  proximitĂ© de lui, comme les vĂ©los ou les joggeurs, et peut alors rĂ©agir fortement. Il a Ă©galement tendance Ă  beaucoup vocaliser lorsqu’il entend quelque chose ou lorsqu’une personne arrive. Un travail sera donc nĂ©cessaire afin de l’aider Ă  mieux gĂ©rer ses Ă©motions et Ă  limiter ses aboiements. 🧮 Son magnifique pelage demande Ă©galement un entretien rĂ©gulier. Il faudra donc ĂȘtre prĂȘt Ă  lui consacrer du temps pour son toilettage. 🏡 Son futur foyer ✔ Enfants : OK ❌ Chats : NON đŸ¶ Chiens : Ă  Ă©valuer, car Diego a tendance Ă  les aboyer Nous recherchons pour Diego un foyer en maison individuelle, afin de limiter les Ă©ventuels problĂšmes liĂ©s Ă  ses vocalises, ainsi qu’une famille prĂȘte Ă  s’investir dans son Ă©ducation et Ă  l’accompagner dans la gestion de ses rĂ©actions. Diego a besoin de personnes patientes, disponibles et investies, qui sauront lui offrir un cadre clair et bienveillant, tout en lui permettant de se dĂ©penser suffisamment, aussi bien physiquement que mentalement. ❀ Diego est un petit chien attachant qui a simplement besoin d’un environnement adaptĂ© Ă  ses besoins et de personnes prĂȘtes Ă  poursuivre le travail commencĂ© avec lui. 📞 IntĂ©ressĂ©(e) par Diego ? Contactez-nous au 67. ❌ Merci de ne pas envoyer de messages, d’e-mails ou de demandes via les rĂ©seaux sociaux. Les prises de contact se font uniquement par tĂ©lĂ©phone.

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is a small adult dog waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Diego, answered.

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