Adopt Arona

Female · Senior · 24 years

Born from a reputable breeder, Arona nevertheless ended up with a private individual who neglected and abused her animals chronically. The mare arrived at the shelter in a cachectic state at the last stage and took a long time to recover. She suffers from a genetic disease very present within her breed which requires constant monitored feeding. Arona is a very calm and reserved mare, but nevertheless happy to establish bonds when treated gently. With other horses, she does not impose herself and prefers to avoid conflicts.

Issue d'un élevage réputé, Arona n'a néanmoins pas manqué de finir chez une particulière qui négligeait et maltraitait ses animaux de manière chronique. La jument est arrivée au refuge dans un état cachectique au dernier stade et a mis beaucoup de temps à reprendre de l'état. Elle souffre d'une maladie génétique très présente au sein de sa race qui réclame une alimentation surveillée en permanence. Arona est une jument très calme et effacée, mais pourtant ravie de pouvoir établir des liens lorsqu'on est doux avec elle. Face aux autres chevaux, elle ne s'impose pas et préfère fuir les conflits. Rue du Haut Aulnoy n°29, 7822 Meslin l'Evêque

About Arona

What life with Arona looks like

Arona is a senior horse waiting at Animaux en Péril ASBL in Belgium.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

🇧🇪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 Arona, answered.

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