BIM

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

BIM, a gentle soul who needs time to trust. Bim is a sweet mixed breed dog with a soft gaze and a big heart. Behind his reserve is a deeply affectionate companion who deserves to find a patient and caring family, ready to offer him the stability and trust he has not always known. Bim is not the kind of dog who jumps into the arms of strangers. He prefers to take his time, observe, and come to people on his own. His past has left him with some apprehensions, particularly about sudden gestures or hands coming over his head. With gentleness, respect, and a little patience, he reveals all his sensitivity and attachment. Strengths: * Very attached and affectionate once trust is gained. * Can live in an apartment, provided he has regular walks. * Does not need a garden. * Can tolerate solitude and stay alone for a few hours. * Sociable with his peers in most situations. * Travels well by car and adapts to transportation. * Clean in his usual environment. What you should know: Bim needs his space and his own pace of contact to be respected. He is not suitable for a household with children. Due to past bad experiences, he does not appreciate them. Cohabitation with cats is not possible, as he tends to chase them. When he arrives in a new home, he may mark his territory for the first few days. A routine of regular walks will help him adapt. His ideal family: Bim is looking for a calm home, composed of adults or teenagers who respect animals. He would be perfect for patient people who can give him time to open up and create a bond of trust at his own pace. He can live in an apartment or house, provided he has several daily walks. A family that is present without being constantly by his side will also suit him, as he knows how to stay alone for a few hours without difficulty. And if you were his second chance? Bim does not expect perfect adopters, only people ready to offer him the understanding, security, and love he deserves. Behind his shyness is a faithful companion who will repay you a hundredfold. Do you think you can offer Bim the home he dreams of? Do not hesitate to contact us ONLY BY PHONE AT 02/523.44.16 to learn more and come to meet him. He may already be waiting for his future family.

About BIM

What life with BIM looks like

BIM is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Help Animals in Brussels.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇧🇪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 BIM, answered.

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