Scott

Australian Shepherd · Male · Adult · 4 years

Scott, splendide Berger Australien mâle castré âgé est entré au refuge suite au décès de sa propriétaire. Rapidement adopté, Scott est malheureusement de retour suite à de multiples morsures causées, entre autre, par la protection des ressources ( objets, nourriture etc. ) ... Protecteur envers son environnement et son humain référent, Scott peut faire preuve d'un amour inconditionnel mais également d'un tempérament affirmé amenant à des situations complexes. Nous recherchons donc pour ce chien fantastique, un(e) adoptant(e) sans enfant, capable de le comprendre et de lui rendre sa place au sein de son futur foyer. Scott aura besoin d'un référent sûr de lui et ayant de solides bases d'éducation canine. La présence d'un autre chien, parfaitement codé et sociable, serait un plus non négligeable dans sa réhabilitation! Adorant apprendre, joueur et courir, on pourrait voir en Scott une vraie tornade qui aura besoin d'exercice quotidiennement afin de pouvoir se canaliser au mieux 😉 Malheureusement, il ne s'entend pas du tout avec les chats. Scott est parfaitement propre et capable de rester seul plusieurs heures. De nature craintive, Scott manque de confiance en lui et aura donc également besoin d'un référent capable de lui apprendre comment stabiliser ses émotions. L'apprentissage, sans aucune contrainte, sera de mise pour ce toutou fabuleux et ne demandant qu'à s'abandonner à une confiance totale et réciproque envers un(e) humain(e) !

About Scott

What life with Scott looks like

Scott is an adult australian shepherd dog waiting at SPA La Louvière in Louviere.

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 Scott, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Scott?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA La Louvière handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Scott on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Scott if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA La Louvière 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Scott 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 Scott 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 La Louvière early rather than rehoming privately; they know Scott 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.
