How do I contact the shelter about Barry?

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

Can I adopt Barry 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 Barry 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 Barry 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 Barry 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.

Barry

Male · Adult · 4 years

Barry is a wonderful Mechelse shepherd dog, 4 years old. He came to us due to his owner's hospitalization. Barry is normally kept indoors during the day with access to the outside. At night, Barry sleeps inside. Barry lived with other dogs and it went well. Barry is not car sick. He is housebroken when let out in time. He did not live with children. Barry is a boy with a wonderful character, a real cuddly bear for his owners, who gets a lot of support from them. Barry's weakness is staying home alone. Barry has been often alone at home for many hours recently, which he was not used to before. He doesn't chew anything, but he does like to move around loose items, a real interior architect therefore. 🙂 Staying home alone will therefore have to be built up further, but Barry is an eager learner and fully embraces learning in exchange for a wonderful home. Now Barry is looking for his golden bed. He can be tested with his own dog. He will not be placed with children. Barry is a young, energetic Mechelse shepherd and is therefore looking for energetic owners who want to do a lot with him! He will not be placed to live outside or as a guard dog!! Barry is looking for a family that is really looking for a companion. Who can give Barry his golden bed?

Barry is een prachtige Mechelse herder van 4 jaar oud. Hij kwam bij ons terecht na afstand vanwege een ziekenhuisopname van zijn eigenaar. Barry is gewoon van overdag vrij binnen te leven met toegang tot buiten. ’s Nachts sliep Barry binnen. Barry leefde samen met andere honden en dit ging goed. Barry is niet wagenziek. Hij is zindelijk in huis wanneer hij tijdig buitengelaten wordt. Hij leefde niet samen met kinderen. Barry is een jongen met een prachtig karakter, bij zijn baasjes een echte knuffelbeer waar hij veel steun aan heeft. Barry zijn werkpuntje is alleen thuisblijven. Barry was de laatste tijd vaak vele uren alleen thuis wat hij voordien niet gewoon was. Hij bijt hierbij niets stuk maar verlegt wel graag losse spullen, een echte interieurarchitect dus. 🙂 Alleen thuis blijven zal dus verder opgebouwd moeten worden maar Barry is een leergierige jongen en ziet dat leren volledig zitten in ruil voor een prachtige thuis. Nu mag Barry op zoek naar zijn gouden mandje. Hij kan getest worden met een eigen hond. Hij wordt niet bij kinderen geplaatst. Barry is een jonge energieke Mechelaar en gaat dan ook op zoek naar energieke baasjes die veel met hem willen ondernemen! Hij wordt niet geplaatst om buiten te leven of als waakhond!! Barry gaat op zoek naar een gezin dat echt op zoek is naar een maatje. Wie kan Barry 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 Barry

What life with Barry looks like

Barry is a adult 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.
