Lassie

Maltese · Female · Young · 1 year

Personnalité :Lassie est une chienne joyeuse, curieuse et très affectueuse. Douce et proche de ses humains, elle apprécie les moments de complicité et recherche volontiers leur attention. Environnement et foyer idéal :Lassie recherche une famille, avec ou sans enfants, présente au quotidien et prête à lui offrir tout l'amour, le temps et la stabilité dont elle a besoin pour s'épanouir. Expérience requise :Elle peut tout à fait convenir à une première adoption. Nous recommandons néanmoins un accompagnement par un(e) professionnel(le) du monde canin afin de partir sur de bonnes bases. Compatibilité :Lassie s'entend bien avec les chiens de même gabarit. Les rencontres avec des chiens plus grands devront être progressives et sereines afin de ne pas l'impressionner. Besoins particuliers :Lassie a besoin d'une famille présente, bienveillante et prête à partager de nombreux moments de vie avec elle. Si vous pensez pouvoir lui offrir la belle vie qu’elle 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 Lassie

What life with Lassie looks like

Lassie is a small young adult maltese 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lassie, answered.

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