How do I contact the shelter about Ozzy?

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

Can I adopt Ozzy 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 Ozzy 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 Ozzy 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 Ozzy 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.

Ozzy

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 2 years

Our Ozzy is looking for his new forever family! Personality: Ozzy can be cautious, even reactive, towards strangers during first meetings. Once reassured, he reveals a playful, happy and affectionate nature. Ideal environment and home: We are looking for a family without children, living in a quiet environment, preferably in the countryside. His future home must not have cats. Ozzy also needs people who are available and ready to invest time in his mental and physical exercise. Required experience: His future family must have solid experience with dogs, in order to support him appropriately. Compatibility: Ozzy can get along with other animals of the same species, but his lack of experience can sometimes make him a bit rough in his interactions. Special needs: Adopters must establish a consistent, clear and stable lifestyle for Ozzy to feel safe and avoid testing limits. A professional in the canine world will be required. If you think you can offer Ozzy the active, structured and reassuring life he 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 dog presentation texts are not met, no further action will be taken on the adoption request. Please also read our placement philosophy.

Notre Ozzy recherche sa nouvelle famille pour la vie ! Personnalité :Ozzy peut se montrer méfiant, voire réactif, envers les inconnus lors des premières rencontres. Une fois rassuré, il révèle pourtant un tempérament joueur, joyeux et attachant. Environnement et foyer idéal :Nous recherchons pour lui une famille sans enfants, vivant dans un environnement calme, de préférence à la campagne. Son futur foyer ne devra pas compter de chats. Ozzy a également besoin de personnes disponibles et prêtes à investir du temps dans sa dépense mentale et physique. Expérience requise :Sa future famille devra disposer d’une solide expérience avec les chiens, afin de l’accompagner de manière adaptée. Compatibilité :Ozzy peut s’entendre avec ses congénères, mais son manque d’expérience peut parfois le rendre un peu brusque dans ses interactions. Besoins particuliers :Les adoptants devront instaurer un cadre de vie cohérent, clair et stable pour qu’Ozzy puisse se sentir en sécurité et éviter de tester les limites. Un accompagnement par un(e) professionnel(le) du monde canin sera exigé. Si vous pensez pouvoir offrir à Ozzy la vie active, structurée et rassurante 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 Ozzy

What life with Ozzy looks like

Ozzy is a large young adult labrador retriever 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.
