Adopt Bolomé

Unknown · Senior · 13 years

Bolomé was the son of Fleur, the donkey saved from the slaughterhouse in December 2011. His arrival was a surprise for everyone, including our veterinarian. He had hidden well in his mother's belly, the little rascal. We wish him a life filled with happiness within our home where he brings a lot of joy.

Bolomé était le fils de Fleur, l’ânesse sauvée de l’abattoir en décembre 2011. Son arrivée fut une surprise pour tout le monde, y compris pour notre vétérinaire. Il s’était bien caché dans le ventre de sa maman, le petit coquin. Nous lui souhaitons une vie remplie de bonheur au sein de notre home dans lequel il apporte beaucoup de joie.

About Bolomé

What life with Bolomé looks like

Bolomé is a senior horse waiting at Les Petits Vieux ASBL in Chièvres.

Adopting a horse is a long-term commitment that almost always requires either land or a boarding stable. The shelter will discuss the horse's training level, vet history, and what kind of work or companionship they're suited for. Expect ongoing costs: feed, farrier, vet, and stabling.

🇧🇪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 Bolomé, answered.

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