Adopt Cawette

Chihuahua · Female · Senior · 14 years

Cawette arrived with six other chihuahuas. They were pampered by their mistress and lived in a large country house. But, due to a financial change, the lady was forced to leave her house for a small apartment that could not accommodate all her dogs. She entrusted some to her acquaintances and family, but there were seven left who, having always lived together, would not have tolerated being separated. Cawette is a super nice little old lady! She loves coming onto laps and giving cuddles for hours. She is still energetic and enjoys walking in the garden. She is very sociable with other dogs.

Cawette est arrivée avec six autres chihuahuas. Ils étaient choyés chez leur maîtresse et vivaient dans une grande maison de campagne. Mais, suite à un changement de situation financière, la dame a été contrainte de quitter sa maison pour un petit appartement qui ne pouvait pas accueillir tous ses chiens. Elle en a confié à des connaissances et à sa famille, mais il en restait sept qui, ayant toujours vécu ensemble, n’auraient pas supporté d’être séparés. Cawette est une petite mémère super gentille ! Elle adore venir sur les genoux et faire des câlins pendant des heures. Elle est encore dynamique et se promène volontiers dans le jardin. Elle est très sociable avec les autres chiens.

About Cawette

What life with Cawette looks like

Cawette is a senior chihuahua 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 Cawette, answered.

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