How do I contact the shelter about Niva?

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

Can I adopt Niva 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 Niva 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 Niva 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 Niva 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 Niva

American Bully · Female · Young · 1 year

Our Niva is looking for her new forever family! Personality: Niva is a young, happy, and lively dog. She is independent but will show affection within her home. Ideal environment and family: Niva will thrive in a family with children aged 15 and older, living in the countryside as the city can be stressful for her. Niva will need a family that has time to dedicate to her and is ready to commit to her education. Required experience: Can be suitable as a first dog if supervised by a professional in the canine world. Compatibility: Niva gets along with other animals of the same species, but her approach towards them needs to be worked on. She loves humans but can sometimes be exuberant because she doesn't yet know how to manage her joy. She has never lived with cats. Special needs: A follow-up by a professional in the canine world will be required for the adoption of the beautiful Niva. Indeed, her education is more than lacking and she will need to learn the rules of "good behavior" in the human world. An osteopathic follow-up will certainly have to be put in place in the medium term so that she can stay healthy for as long as possible. Note: You must check the law in force in your canton regarding the ownership of American Bully dogs. If you think you can offer the beautiful life that Niva 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 criteria explicitly required in the presentation texts of the dogs are not respected, no further action will be taken on the adoption request. Please also read our placement philosophy.

Notre Niva recherche sa nouvelle famille pour la vie ! Personnalité : Niva est une jeune chienne joyeuse et pleine de vie. Elle est indépendante mais saura se montrer câline au sein de son foyer. Environnement et foyer idéal : Niva se plaira dans une famille, enfants à partir de 15 ans, vivant à la campagne car la ville peut être stressante pour elle. Niva aura besoin d’une famille qui a du temps à lui consacrer et qui sera prête à s’investir dans son éducation. Expérience requise : Peut convenir comme premier chien à condition d’être suivi par un professionnel du monde canin. Compatibilité : Niva s’entend avec ses congénères, son approche envers eux devra être travaillée. Elle aime les humains mais peut parfois se montrer exubérante car elle ne sait pas encore comment gérer sa joie. Elle n’a jamais cohabité avec des chats. Besoins particuliers : Un suivi par un professionnel du monde canin sera exigé pour l’adoption de la belle Niva. En effet, son éducation est plus que lacunaire et aura besoin qu’on lui apprenne les règles de « bonne conduite » du monde des humains. Un suivi ostéopathique devra certainement être mis en place à moyen terme pour qu’elle puisse être en bonne santé le plus longtemps possible. Attention : Il faut se renseigner sur la loi en vigueur dans votre canton pour la détention des chiens de race American Bully. Si vous pensez pouvoir offrir la belle vie que Niva 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 Niva

What life with Niva looks like

Niva is a medium-sized young adult american bully dog waiting at SPA Fribourg in Font.

An young 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.
