Adopt Chewie

Shih Tzu · Male · Adult · 4 years

Chewie is a beautiful shih tzu, 4 years old. He came to us as a stray and unfortunately was not claimed. Therefore, we have no background information on Chewie. Here, we got to know Chewie as a lovely cuddler and a big plaything. Chewie is clearly not a fan of things he doesn't like. Chewie is an active little fellow and loves his walks. Now, Chewie is looking for his golden bed. He is not placed with young children. His interaction with other dogs is unknown. Who can give Chewie a warm bed?

Chewie is een prachtige shih tzu van 4 jaar oud. Hij kwam bij ons terecht als zwerfdiertje en werd jammer genoeg niet meer opgehaald. Hierdoor hebben we geen achtergrondinformatie over Chewie. Hier mochten we Chewie leren kennen als een lekker actief, grappig en eigenwijs baasje. Chewie is een lieve knuffelaar en een grote speelvogel. Wanneer hij iets niet graag heeft zal hij dit ook duidelijk laten merken. Chewie is een actief hondje en houdt van zijn wandelingen. Nu mag Chewie op zoek naar zijn gouden mandje. Hij wordt niet bij jonge kinderen geplaatst. Zijn omgang met andere honden is onbekend. Wie kan Chewie een warm mandje geven? Kennismakingen verlopen steeds op afspraak en na het invullen van onze vragenlijst via mail. Het heeft dus geen zin om zonder afspraak langs te komen alsook niet om telefonisch contact op te nemen.

About Chewie

What life with Chewie looks like

Chewie is a adult shih tzu dog waiting at Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus in Aalst.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇧🇪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 Chewie, answered.

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