How do I contact the shelter about Boellie?

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

Can I adopt Boellie 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 Boellie 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 Boellie 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 Boellie 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.

Adopt Boellie

Keeshond · Male · Adult · 4 years

Boellie is a wonderful mixed breed Keeshond of 4 years old. He came to us because he dared to bite one of the owners. Boellie is simply fine living inside both during the day and at night. He did not live with other animals or children. Boellie is a huge loving cuddler with a super nice personality. However, when he did not get his way, he would bite, and he was then distracted with a treat, which unfortunately only encouraged this behavior. He did this only towards one of the owners. Here we got to know Boellie as a lovely cuddle and his behavior had not yet come up. Boellie is not car sick and even likes to be in the car. He could easily stay alone at home for 7 hours a day. He is housebroken and does not chew anything anymore. Boellie does not do his business in the garden, the owners had to take him for walks, which is also his favorite activity, so well seen from Boellie! Now Boellie is looking for his golden bed. He is looking for people who do not shy away from this behavior and want to work with him. He will not be placed with children. Boellie's interaction with other dogs is unknown. Boellie is not a couch potato but an active boy and is looking for active owners. Who can give him a good home?

Boellie is een prachtige kruising keeshond van 4 jaar. Hij kwam bij ons terecht omdat hij durfde happen naar een van beiden eigenaars. Boellie is gewoon van zowel overdag als ’s nachts vrij binnen te leven. Hij leefde niet samen met andere dieren of kinderen. Boellie is een enorm lieve knuffelaar met een super fijn karakter. Echter wanneer hij zijn zin niet kreeg durfde hij happen, dan werd hij steeds afgeleid met een snoepje wat dit gedrag jammer genoeg enkel in de hand werkte. Hij deed dit ook enkel naar een van beide eigenaars. Hier mochten we Boellie leren kennen als een lieve knuffel en kwam zijn gedrag nog niet naar boven. Boellie is niet wagenziek en zit zelfs graag in de auto. Hij kon makkelijk 7 uur per dag alleen thuisblijven. Hij is zindelijk in huis en bijt ook niets meer stuk. Boellie doet zijn behoeften ook niet in de tuin, de eigenaars moesten er mee gaan wandelen, dit is ook zijn favoriete activiteit, goed gezien dus van Boellie! Nu mag Boellie op zoek naar zijn gouden mandje. Hij gaat op zoek naar mensen die niet terugdeinzen van dit gedrag en hier met hem mee aan de slag willen gaan. Hij wordt niet bij kinderen geplaatst. Boellie zijn omgang met andere honden is onbekend. Boellie is geen bankhangertje maar een actieve jongen en gaat op zoek naar actieve baasjes. Wie kan hem een goede thuis 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 Boellie

What life with Boellie looks like

Boellie is a adult keeshond 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.
