How do I contact the shelter about Kayu?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Fribourg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kayu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kayu if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Fribourg 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 Kayu 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 Kayu 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 Fribourg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kayu 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.

Adopt Kayu

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Our Kayu is looking for his new forever family! Personality: Kayu is a dog who can be very shy and wary during first meetings. When he feels safe and secure, he reveals an entirely different side of himself: a loyal, happy and even curious companion. Ideal environment and home: We are looking for a family without children, ideally located in the countryside, willing to dedicate time, patience and a lot of kindness to him so that he can discover life at his own pace. Experience required: Kayu is not suitable as a first dog. He will need committed and experienced people to accompany and guide him on a daily basis. A follow-up with a professional in the canine world is strongly recommended. Compatibility: Kayu generally gets along well with other animals of the same species, but he will prefer calm and balanced dogs. He has already lived with cats; however, any cohabitation must be gradually and supervised in order to avoid any incident. Special needs: Kayu suffers from allergies. He must follow a strict diet and receive medication twice a day. If you think you can offer him the life he deserves, we would be delighted to meet you! In case of interest, please complete the online form "request - interest in adopting a dog". If the criteria explicitly required in the presentation texts of the dogs are not respected, no further action will be taken on the adoption request. Please also read our placement philosophy.

Notre Kayu cherche sa nouvelle famille pour la vie ! Personnalité :Kayu est un chien qui peut se montrer très timide et méfiant lors des premières rencontres. Lorsqu’il se sent en confiance et en sécurité, il révèle une toute autre facette de lui-même : un compagnon fidèle, joyeux et même curieux. Environnement et foyer idéal :Nous recherchons pour lui une famille sans enfants, idéalement située à la campagne, prête à lui consacrer du temps, de la patience et beaucoup de bienveillance afin de lui permettre de découvrir la vie à son propre rythme. Expérience requise :Kayu ne convient pas comme premier chien. Il aura besoin de personnes investies et expérimentées pour l’accompagner et le guider au quotidien. Un suivi avec un(e) professionnel(le) du monde canin est fortement recommandé. Compatibilité :Kayu s’entend généralement bien avec ses congénères, mais il préférera des chiens calmes et équilibrés. Il a déjà vécu avec des chats ; toutefois, toute cohabitation devra être mise en place progressivement et de manière encadrée afin d’éviter tout incident. Besoins particuliers :Kayu souffre d’allergies. Il doit suivre un régime alimentaire strict et recevoir un traitement médicamenteux deux fois par jour. Si vous pensez pouvoir lui offrir la vie qu’il mérite, nous serions ravis de vous rencontrer ! En cas d’intérêt, merci de compléter le formulaire on-line « demande - intérêt pour l’adoption d’un chien ». Si les critères explicitement exigés dans les textes de présentation des chiens ne sont pas respectés, aucune suite ne sera donnée à la demande d'adoption.

About Kayu

What life with Kayu looks like

Kayu is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Fribourg in Font.

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 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.
