How do I contact the shelter about Nino?

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 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 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 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 Fribourg 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Joyful, playful, and affectionate, he loves sharing intimate moments with his humans. Ideal environment and home: We are looking for an active family for Nino, children are welcome, who appreciates activities and walks with their dog. He will need a stimulating and nurturing environment to thrive fully. Experience required: Nino can perfectly suit as a first dog. As with any adoption, we recommend being accompanied by a canine professional to facilitate a beautiful adaptation and a harmonious relationship. Compatibility: Nino gets along well with other dogs of the same species. However, he has never lived with cats; a cat-free home will be requested.

Personnalité :Nino peut se montrer un peu réservé lors des premières rencontres, mais une fois en confiance, il révèle un véritable petit chien plein de charme ! Joyeux, joueur et câlin, il aime partager des moments complices avec ses humains. Environnement et foyer idéal :Nous recherchons pour Nino une famille active, enfants bienvenus, qui apprécie les activités et les promenades avec son chien. Il aura besoin d’un cadre stimulant et bienveillant pour s’épanouir pleinement. Expérience requise :Nino peut tout à fait convenir comme premier chien. Comme pour toute adoption, nous recommandons toutefois de se faire accompagner par un(e) professionnel(le) du monde canin afin de favoriser une belle adaptation et une relation harmonieuse. Compatibilité :Nino s’entend bien avec ses congénères. Il n’a cependant jamais vécu avec des chats ; un foyer sans chats sera donc demandé.

Si vous pensez pouvoir offrir la belle vie active que Nino 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 Nino

What life with Nino looks like

Nino is a small adult mixed breed 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.
