Bob en Mina

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Bob and Mina are two Chihuahuas looking for a new home due to divorce. Bob is an neutered male, 12 years old. His eyes were removed at a younger age and he can get his plan going once he has learned the new environment. He adapts quickly provided with love and attention. Mina is a spayed female, born on July 12, 2016. She is initially anxious around strangers but you can bribe her with food and then she becomes a true loyal friend. Until recently, these darlings hardly went outside due to lack of time. They did their business on a cloth, but with some dedication they can certainly still learn to go out nicely. Currently the doors are open and they even do it by themselves already. Bob leans heavily on Mina so this duo must definitely stay together.

Bob en Mina zijn twee Chihuahua's die wegens echtscheiding een nieuwe thuis zoeken. Bob is een gecastreerd reutje, 12 jaar. Zijn oogjes zijn verwijderd op jongere leeftijd en kan goed zijn plan trekken eens hij de nieuwe omgeving heeft leren kennen. Hij past zich snel aan mits liefde en aandacht. Mina is een gesteriliseerd teefje, geboren op 12 juli 2016. Zij is in het begin angstig voor vreemde mensen maar met eten kan je haar zo omkopen en dan is ze een echte trouwe vriendin. Tot voor kort kwamen deze lieverds amper buiten wegens tijdsgebrek. Ze deden hun behoefte op een doek, maar mits wat toewijding kunnen ze zeker nog leren om mooi buiten te gaan. Momenteel staan de deuren open en doen ze het zelfs al uit zichzelf. Bob leunt enorm aan bij Mina dus dit duo moet zeker samen blijven.

About Bob en Mina

What life with Bob en Mina looks like

Bob en Mina is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Het Dierenthuisje VZW in Geel.

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 Bob en Mina, answered.

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