KAIO

Mixed Breed · Unknown

KAIO IS LOCATED IN SPAIN Kaio is a true angel: he is an adorable and incredibly sweet dog. When he arrived at the shelter, he was rather shy, but very quickly Kaio overcame his fears and revealed his true nature: he loves being petted, he is not dominant with other dogs, he enjoys having buddies, but he also knows how to stay alone! Kaio is an easy dog, but his lack of confidence may resurface in new situations. He will therefore need to be introduced to these new situations gradually, and Kaio will quickly learn to handle them... But like every hunting dog in Spain, he knew nothing but an unsanitary shelter from which he was only taken out to hunt. So he has everything to learn, but with his temperament, there is no doubt he will get there! Ready to give Kaio new experiences?

KAIO SE TROUVE EN ESPAGNE Kaio est un vrai ange : c’est un chien adorable et incroyablement gentil. À son arrivée au refuge, il était assez timide, mais très rapidement, Kaio a su dominer ses peurs et a révélé sa véritable nature : il adore les caresses, n’est pas dominant avec les autres chiens, aime avoir des copains, mail il sait aussi rester seul ! Kaio est un chien facile, mais son manque d’assurance peut revenir dans de nouvelles situations. Il faudra donc le mettre progressivement dans ces nouvelles situations et Kaio apprendra vite à les gérer…mais comme tout chien de chasse en Espagne, il ne connaissait rien d’autre qu’un abri insalubre dont on le sortait pour chasser. Il a donc tout à apprendre, mais c’est certain qu’avec son caractère il va y arriver ! Prêts à faire vivre de nouvelles expériences à Kaio ?

About KAIO

What life with KAIO looks like

KAIO is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at MACFI - Maison d in Switzerland.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 KAIO, answered.

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