Naika

Belgian Malinois · Female · Adult · 6 years

Les balades avec Naïka sont agréables, elle ne tire pas en laisse, jette des coups d'œil réguliers à son binôme, possède déjà quelques bases d'éducation (assis, couché, pas bouger)... Cependant il lui faudra encore un peu apprendre à mieux gérer ses émotions, elle est très contente et très vite, il lui arrive de sauter, de mordiller aussi. Avec ses congénères, elle en tolère certains et d'autres moins, on peut dire que Naïka a ses têtes ! Il lui arrive, dans ses mauvais jours, de bloquer sur ceux qu'elle croise, mais elle travaille tranquillement avec un éducateur et s'améliore. Avec tous les progrès qu'elle fait au refuge, une fois bien installée, en poursuivant ses cours d'éducation, Naïka ne pourra qu'être bien dans ses pattes ! Pour finir, Naïka a quelques soucis avec sa patte arrière qui la fait boiter, cela ne l'empêche absolument pas de se défouler, cependant nous ne savons pas encore exactement ce qu'il se passe. Les rdv avec le vétérinaire sont posés pour comprendre et enfin la soulager !

About Naika

What life with Naika looks like

Naika is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at APAGI in Le Versoud.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Naika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Naika?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAGI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Naika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Naika if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAGI 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 Naika 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 Naika 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 APAGI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Naika 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.
