NINO

Belgian Malinois · Male · Senior · 9 years

Nino est arrivé au refuge de Cabourg le 29/10/26 suite à un transfert d'un autre refuge. Nous espérons que son arrivée en Normandie lui portera chance et qu'il va enfin trouver sa famille pour la vie. Ce vieux loulou arrivé de fourrière est un gros sensible qui a du mal à accorder sa confiance, mais une fois le lien créé, il se révèle être un amour de chien en manque d'affection. Il aura besoin d'un foyer au calme, sans chats. Il pourra cependant rencontrer des chiens au cas par cas. Il n'attend plus que vous ! Nino souffre d'une bronchopathie chronique. Un suivi vétérinaire régulier sera donc à prévoir.

About NINO

What life with NINO looks like

NINO is a senior belgian malinois dog waiting at SPA Cabourg in Cabourg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

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

Frequently asked

Adopting NINO, answered.

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