How do I contact the shelter about Koda?

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 Koda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Koda 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 Koda 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 Koda 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 Koda 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 Koda

Border Collie · Male · Young · 1 year

Personality: Koda is a sensitive and endearing dog whose personality can sometimes be difficult to understand at first glance. He requires time, patience, and especially a genuine climate of trust to reveal his qualities. Ideal Environment: We are looking for a calm and stable home for Koda, ideally with a single person, without children, who is willing to dedicate time to him and move at his own pace. A serene environment will be essential for him to fully flourish. Experience Required: Koda will need someone with good experience with dogs, and ideally with sensitive dogs or those needing special accompaniment. A kind, consistent, and respectful approach to his emotions will be indispensable. Compatibility: Koda gets along with other dogs of the same species when introductions are made gently and he has the time necessary to feel secure. However, he has never lived with cats; their presence in his future home should therefore be avoided. Special Needs: We are looking for a stable, patient, and invested person who is ready to build a relationship with him based on mutual trust and respect. His adoption will require time and commitment. If you think you can offer him the beautiful life he deserves, we would be delighted to meet you! For your interest, please complete the online form "interest in adopting a dog". If the explicit criteria in the dog profiles are not met, no further action will be taken on the adoption request.

Read original (fr)

Personnalité :Koda est un chien sensible et attachant, dont la personnalité peut parfois être difficile à comprendre au premier abord. Il a besoin de temps, de patience et surtout d’un véritable climat de confiance pour révéler ses qualités. Environnement et foyer idéal :Nous recherchons pour Koda un foyer calme et stable, idéalement auprès d’une personne seule, sans enfants, prête à lui consacrer du temps et à avancer à son rythme. Un environnement serein sera essentiel pour lui permettre de s’épanouir pleinement. Expérience requise :Koda aura besoin d’une personne ayant déjà une bonne expérience des chiens, et idéalement des chiens sensibles ou ayant besoin d’un accompagnement particulier. Une approche bienveillante, cohérente et respectueuse de ses émotions sera indispensable. Compatibilité :Koda s’entend avec ses congénères lorsque les présentations sont faites en douceur et qu’il dispose du temps nécessaire pour être en confiance. Il n’a en revanche jamais vécu avec des chats ; leur présence dans son futur foyer sera donc à éviter. Besoins particuliers :Nous recherchons une personne stable, patiente et investie, prête à construire avec lui une relation basée sur la confiance et le respect mutuel. Son adoption demandera du temps et de l’engagement. Si vous pensez pouvoir lui offrir la belle vie qu’il mérite, nous serons 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 Koda

What life with Koda looks like

Koda is a medium-sized young adult border collie 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.
