Adopt Bear

Male Β· Young Β· 1 year

Bear is a beautiful unknown mixed breed of 1 year old. He came to us as part of a seizure with his brother Moose. They were severely underfed but have made great progress already! Here, we've had the chance to get to know Bear as an active, enthusiastic young boy! He's learned to walk on a leash and does this very well now! Bear still has a lot to learn, including some manners πŸ˜‰ but we're confident he'll do great! Now, Bear is looking for his golden retriever. Bear is not placed with other dogs. Due to lack of background, Bear is also not placed with children. Bear is a boy with a lot of energy and is looking for active owners who can give him enough exercise and, above all, love. Experience with dogs is a must for Bear! Who can give our boy his golden retriever?

Bear is een prachtige onbekende kruising van 1 jaar oud. Hij kwam bij ons terecht vanwege een inbeslagname samen met broer Moose. Ze waren ernstig ondervoed maar intussen haalden ze deze schade al goed in! Hier mochten we Bear intussen leren kennen als een actieve, enthousiaste jongen! Hij leerde hier aan de lijn wandelen en doet dit intussen zeer goed! Verder moet Bear nog heel veel leren, waaronder toch ook wat manieren πŸ˜‰ maar we zijn er zeker van dat hij dit goed zal doen! Nu mag Bear op zoek naar zijn gouden mandje. Bear wordt niet bij andere honden geplaatst. Wegens gebrek aan achtergrond wordt Bear ook niet bij kinderen geplaatst. Bear is een jongen met veel energie en gaat op zoek naar actieve baasjes die hem voldoende beweging en bovenal liefde kunnen geven. Ook ERVARING met honden is een echte must voor Bear! Wie kan onze jongen 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 Bear

What life with Bear looks like

Bear is a young adult dog waiting at Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus in Aalst.

An young 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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺAdopting 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 Bear, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bear?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bear on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bear if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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 Bear 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bear isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bear 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 β€” 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.
