Albert

Male

We were contacted by the police to intervene with a stray pig in a meadow. Albert is a Pietrain pig, a breed generally raised for meat production. The police tried to find his owner, without success. Albert is now part of the large family at the shelter Les Petits Vieux. He is an extremely kind and gentle pig. Calm by nature, he spends most of his time resting. When we found him, he was very stressed in the meadow. Today, he is much more relaxed, reassured to have found a safe place where he can finally feel secure.

Nous avons été contactés par la police pour intervenir auprès d’un cochon errant dans une prairie. Albert est un cochon de race Piétrain, une race généralement destinée à la production de viande. La police a tenté de retrouver son propriétaire, sans succès. Albert fait désormais partie de la grande famille du refuge Les Petits Vieux. C’est un cochon extrêmement gentil et doux. Calme de nature, il passe une grande partie de son temps à se reposer. Lorsque nous l’avons trouvé, il était très stressé dans la prairie. Aujourd’hui, il est beaucoup plus détendu, rassuré d’avoir trouvé un lieu sûr où il peut enfin se sentir en sécurité.

About Albert

What life with Albert looks like

Albert is a adult animal waiting at Les Petits Vieux ASBL in Chièvres.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Albert far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇧🇪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 Albert, answered.

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