Adopt Aiko

Keeshond · Male · Adult · 7 years

Aiko is a 7-year-old keeshond. He came to us due to a move abroad. Aiko is just fine with free roam inside. He also knows the crate. Aiko knows the basic commands sit and lie. He is not car sick and even enjoys being in the car. He could easily spend a day alone at home. Aiko is housebroken and no longer chews anything. Aiko is just as happy going for a trim and that went well. Aiko is an enormous loving and affectionate keeshond. He is watchful and, as befits a true keeshond, quite the barker. Aiko lived with a few other dogs, and his owner mentioned that this barking was mainly reinforced. Now, Aiko is looking for his golden bed. He can be tested with his own dog. He can be placed with children from around 12 years old. Aiko is still an active fellow and is seeking active people. Who can give Aiko his golden bed?. Note: this animal has a bite history.

Aiko is een keeshondje van 7 jaar oud. Hij kwam bij ons terecht na afstand vanwege een verhuis naar het buitenland. Aiko is gewoon van vrij binnen te leven. Hij kent ook de bench. Aiko kent de basiscommando’s zit en lig. Hij is niet wagenziek en zit zelfs graag in de wagen. Hij kon makkelijk een werkdag alleen thuisblijven. Aiko is zindelijk in huis en bijt ook niets meer stuk. Aiko is gewoon om bij de trimmer te gaan en dit ging goed. Aiko is een enorm lieve en aanhankelijke keeshond. Hij is waaks en zoals het een echte keeshond betaamt wel een blaffer. Aiko leefde samen met enkele andere honden en zijn baasje gaf aan dat dit zijn blaffen vooral versterkte. Nu mag Aiko op zoek naar zijn gouden mandje. Hij kan getest worden met een eigen hond. Hij kan geplaatst worden bij kinderen vanaf +- 12 jaar. Aiko is nog een actief kereltje en gaat op zoek naar actieve mensen. Wie kan Aiko zijn gouden mandje geven? Kennismakingen verlopen steeds op afspraak en na het invullen van onze vragenlijst via mail. Het heeft dus geen zin om zonder afspraak langs te komen alsook niet om telefonisch contact op te nemen.

About Aiko

What life with Aiko looks like

Aiko is a adult keeshond dog waiting at Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus in Aalst.

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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Aiko, answered.

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