Adopt Coby

Belgian Malinois · Male · Senior · 9 years

About Adoption Lost/Found Help us Contact > It's better if he is the only pet in the house It's time to find a home for our brave Coby This wonderful Loulou who has lived through hell for several years, locked in his own feces, in a cage outside, emaciated and completely extinguished. When we went to the place, the emotion was at its peak, but our determination was to save him at any cost! He followed us, strangers, of the same species as those who made him suffer. Coby is a dog who wants to LIVE. He is full of energy, despite his 9 years and his past. The family who has the luck to adopt him must be aware that he has never known the inside of a house, and it will take time for him to discover everything. One day at a time, one paw at a time, with gentle hands and above all a lot of love and trust. A securely fenced and safe garden for his greatest pleasure and a spot on a cozy cushion or a chair, is also good. Who will be the lucky one of his heart and show him that humans can be good? At the shelter since:

En nous rendant sur les lieux, l’émotion était à son maximum, mais notre détermination était de le sauver à tout prix ! Il nous a suivi, nous des inconnus, de la même espèce que ceux qui lui ont fait vivre l’enfer. Coby est un chien qui a envie de VIVRE. Il est plein d’énergie, malgré ses 9 ans et son vécu.

Un jour à la fois, une patte à la fois, avec des mains tout en douceur et surtout beaucoup d’amour et de confiance. Un jardin bien clôturé et sécurisé pour son plus grand plaisir et une place sur un coussin douillet ou sur un fauteuil , c’est aussi bien.

About Coby

What life with Coby looks like

Coby is a large senior belgian malinois dog waiting at L'Arche de Noé ASBL - SPA Maisières in Mons.

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 Coby, answered.

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