Adopt Cabu

Male · Senior · 13 years

After wandering for weeks in winter between the streets, fields, and banks of the Escaut River in Pecq with two other pigs, Cabu was taken in by Animaux en Péril in January 2015. Suffering from wires stuck in his snout to prevent him from digging the soil, an activity necessary for the well-being of pigs, he had to be operated on by our veterinarian upon arrival at the shelter to remove them. Very shy, he flees humans, but dominates the other pigs, especially when food is involved.

Après avoir erré pendant des semaines en hiver entre la voie publique, les champs et les rives de l'Escaut à Pecq avec deux autres cochons, Cabu a été recueilli par Animaux en Péril en janvier 2015. Affligé de fils de fer fichés dans le groin pour l'empêcher de fouiller le sol, activité pourtant nécessaire au bien-être des cochons, il a dû être opéré par notre vétérinaire dès son arrivée au refuge pour les lui enlever. Très farouche, il fuit les humains, mais domine les autres cochons, particulièrement quand de la nourriture est en jeu. Rue du Haut Aulnoy n°29, 7822 Meslin l'Evêque

About Cabu

What life with Cabu looks like

Cabu is a senior animal waiting at Animaux en Péril ASBL in Belgium.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Cabu far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇧🇪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 Cabu, answered.

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