Female · Puppy · 6 months

My puppies had plenty of choice... Will I also get that luck? 🐾 Hi, I'm Beauty. My name might suggest that I'm only pretty, but I'm mostly a strong lady with a firm personality. You probably don't know me yet... my puppies, on the other hand, you do. A few weeks ago they all found their golden basket. Their profiles? They were flooded with emails. And me? I wonder whether anyone will click on *my* photo... I ended up at the shelter from a distance, just after giving birth to my beautiful brood. As a true mother hen should, I protected them with heart and soul. So well, in fact, that my caregivers couldn't always check whether the little ones were doing alright. For me, my family came first. In the meantime, I've learned that the people here mean well by me. My caregivers have won my trust, and I now let them come much closer. But that kind of trust isn't a gift. You'll have to earn it. And believe me... once it's there, it's truly real. Let me be honest right away. I am not a beginner's dog. Not at all! Whoever adopts me needs experience with my breed and must know how to guide a strong dog. Because when I see another dog during a walk, I can build up quite a lot of strength. So a pair of sturdy arms is definitely a plus.

Mijn puppy's hadden keuze genoeg... Heb ik straks ook dat geluk? 🐾 Hoi, ik ben Beauty. Mijn naam doet misschien vermoeden dat ik alleen mooi ben, maar ik ben vooral een krachtige dame met een stevig karakter. Mij zullen jullie waarschijnlijk nog niet kennen... mijn puppy's daarentegen wel. Zij hebben enkele weken geleden allemaal hun gouden mandje gevonden. Hun profieltjes? Die werden overspoeld met mails. En ik? Ik vraag me af of er ook iemand op míjn foto zal klikken... Ik ben via afstand in het asiel terechtgekomen, net nadat ik bevallen was van mijn prachtige kroost. Zoals een echte moederkloek betaamt, heb ik hen met hart en ziel beschermd. Zó goed zelfs dat mijn verzorgers niet altijd konden controleren of alles nog in orde was met de kleintjes. Voor mij kwam eerst mijn gezin. Ondertussen heb ik geleerd dat de mensen hier het goed met mij menen. Mijn verzorgers hebben mijn vertrouwen gewonnen en ik laat hen nu veel dichterbij. Maar dat vertrouwen krijg je niet cadeau. Je zal het moeten verdienen. En geloof me... als het er eenmaal is, is het ook écht. Laat ik meteen eerlijk zijn. Ik ben geen beginnershond. Echt niet! Wie mij adopteert, moet ervaring hebben met mijn ras én weten hoe je een krachtige hond begeleidt. Want als ik tijdens een wandeling een andere hond zie, kan ik behoorlijk wat kracht ontwikkelen. Een paar stevige armspieren zijn dus mooi meegenomen.

About Beauty

What life with Beauty looks like

Beauty is a puppy dog waiting at Dierenasiel Ninove in Ninove.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇧🇪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 Beauty, answered.

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