CHANEL

Female · Senior · 12 years

I am Chanel, a Yorkshire Terrier female born on 08/12/2013. On 08/01/2026 I was seized due to neglect and have been living in the animal shelter ever since. I spent some time with a kind lady but unfortunately circumstances prevented me from staying there, so she had to bring me back to the shelter with a heavy heart. That made me very sad. Yes, I will be 13 this year but I am still very active and can manage short distances quite well. I am very sweet but do not like other dogs or small children. I would love to live with retired people who are home a lot and have a small garden. Are you the ones I'm looking for? Make an appointment soon. Hopefully, see you soon.

Hallo, Ik ben Chanel, een yorkshire terrier teefje van 08/12/2013. Op 08/01/2026 ben ik in beslag genomen wegens verwaarlozing, sindsdien woon ik in het dierenasiel. Ik ben een kort tijdje bij een lieve dame geweest maar door omstandigheden kon ik daar helaas niet blijven. Dus heeft de dame mij met pijn in het hart terug naar het asie gebracht. Natuurlij heeft me dat wel verdrietig gemaakt. Ja, ik word 13 dit jaar maar ik ben nog heel actief, korte afstanden kan ik nog heel goed aan. Ik ben heel lief maar hou niet van andere honden en kleine kinderen. Het liefst zou ik gaan wonen bij jong gepensioneerde mensen die veel thuis zijn en ook een klein tuin hebben. Zijn jullie de mensen die ik zoek maak dan snel een afspraak. Hopelijk tot snel Pootje Chanel KINDEREN: GEEN KLEINE KINDEREN HONDEN : NEEN KATTEN: ONBEKEND ZINDELIJK : JA

About CHANEL

What life with CHANEL looks like

CHANEL is a small senior dog waiting at Dierenwereldkruis VZW in Bornem.

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 CHANEL, answered.

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