Lilou

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 8 years

Personality: Lilou is a gentle dog, active, attentive, and affectionate. She loves to share moments with her humans and is close to those she trusts. Ideal environment and home: We are looking for a calm home for Lilou without children, ready to fully invest in her well-being and education. She will need patient, present people who are willing to build a beautiful relationship with her. Experience required: Lilou will not be suitable as a first dog, as her education still needs to be built. She will need clear boundaries and consistent support to evolve calmly. Compatibility: Lilou has had little contact with other dogs and still doesn't know how to interact with them. Regarding cats, she has never lived with them; a cat-free home will be requested. Special needs: Lilou will need invested and available people to help channel her predatory and herd instincts, as well as to better manage her emotions. She is also prone to skin issues that will require some attention. If you think you can offer the active and kind life that Lilou deserves, we would be delighted to meet you! In case of interest, please complete the online form "interest in adopting a dog". If the criteria explicitly required in the dog presentations are not met, no further action will be taken on the adoption request.

FR·Show original

Personnalité : Lilou est une chienne gentille, active et affectueuse. Très proche de l’humain, elle apprécie particulièrement la présence, l’attention et le contact de ses personnes de référence. Foyer idéal : Nous recherchons un foyer calme, sans enfants, avec des personnes présentes, patientes et prêtes à s’investir pleinement dans son éducation et son bien-être. Expérience requise : Lilou ne conviendra pas comme premier chien. Elle aura besoin de personnes expérimentées, capables de lui offrir un cadre clair, cohérent et bienveillant. Compatibilité : Lilou ne s’entend pas avec ses congénères et devra être le seul chien du foyer. Elle n’a jamais vécu avec des chats ; un foyer sans chats sera donc demandé. Besoins particuliers : Elle aura besoin d’un accompagnement pour mieux gérer ses émotions et canaliser ses instincts de prédation et de troupeau. Ses problèmes de peau nécessitent également une attention particulière. Si vous pensez pouvoir offrir à Lilou la vie active, stable et affectueuse 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 Lilou

What life with Lilou looks like

Lilou is a medium-sized adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Fribourg in Font.

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 Lilou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lilou?: 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 Lilou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lilou 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lilou 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 Lilou 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 Lilou 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.
