Cannelle

Shih Tzu · Female · Senior · 15 years

Luna was cowardly abandoned by her owner 15 kilometers from home, with her four-month-old puppy! The police dropped them off with us. A witness saw the incident and we hope he will not go unpunished! Luna is an adorable little dog, very lively and very playful. She always has a toy in her mouth!

Cannelle a été lâchement abandonnée par son maître à 15 kilomètres de chez elle, avec son petit de 4 mois ! La police nous les a déposés. Un témoin a vu la scène et nous espérons bien qu’il ne restera pas impuni ! Cannelle est une adorable petite chienne, très vive et très joueuse. Elle a toujours un jouet en bouche !

About Cannelle

What life with Cannelle looks like

Cannelle is a senior shih tzu dog waiting at Les Petits Vieux ASBL in Chièvres.

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 Cannelle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cannelle?
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 Cannelle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cannelle 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 Cannelle 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 Cannelle 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 Cannelle 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.
