How do I contact the shelter about Miles?

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

Can I adopt Miles 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 Miles 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 Miles 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 Miles 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 Miles

Belgian Malinois · Male · Young · 1 year

Our Miles is looking for her new forever family! Personality: Miles is a young, lively dog, affectionate and playful. She can be shy during first meetings. She still needs to learn about the world around her and can sometimes be fearful in certain situations. Ideal environment and home: We are looking for active people, without children, ready to show her all the joys of life. Her dream family is in the countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Required experience: Not suitable as a first dog. We will require her future adopters to be guided by a professional in the canine world. Compatibility: Miles gets along with other female dogs of the same species. However, meetings with intact males must be done with great caution. She does not get along with cats; her future home must not have any. Special needs: Miles will need to be surrounded by people motivated to offer her plenty of physical and mental exercise so she can thrive best. If you think you can offer her the life she deserves, we would be delighted to meet you! If you are interested, please complete the online form "request - interest in adopting a dog". If the explicitly required criteria in the dog's presentation texts are not met, no further action will be taken on the adoption request. Please also read our placement philosophy.

Notre Miles cherche sa nouvelle famille pour la vie ! Personnalité : Miles est un jeune chien plein de vie, il est affectueux et joueur. Il peut se montrer timide lors des premières rencontres. Il doit encore apprendre à découvrir le monde qui l’entoure et peut parfois être peureux face à certaines situations. Environnement et foyer idéal : Nous recherchons pour Miles des personnes actives, sans enfants, prêtes à lui faire découvrir toutes les joies de la vie. Sa famille de rêve se situe en campagne loin du remue-ménage de la ville. Expérience requise : Ne convient pas comme premier chien. Nous exigerons à ses futurs adoptants d’être suivis par un(e) professionnel(le) du monde canin. Compatibilité : Miles s’entends avec ses congénères femelles. En revanche, les rencontres avec les mâles entiers devront se faire avec beaucoup de prudence. Il ne s’entend pas avec les chats, son futur foyer ne devra pas en avoir. Besoins particuliers : Miles aura besoin d’être entouré de personnes motivées à lui o􀆯rir beaucoup de dépense physique et mentale afin qu’il puisse s’épanouir au mieux. 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 Miles

What life with Miles looks like

Miles is a large young adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Fribourg in Font.

An young 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.
