How do I contact the shelter about Cooper?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Het Dierenthuisje VZW handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cooper on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Cooper if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Het Dierenthuisje 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 Cooper 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 Cooper 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 Het Dierenthuisje VZW early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cooper 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.

Cooper

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Cooper is a neutered male, born in June 2018. Breed: long-haired Chihuahua. He arrived with Nelson and Marie. Nelson & Cooper are two brothers. They were given up due to divorce and too many animals to care for. Both were castrated, chipped, vaccinated, and all teeth removed. They had little or no care for many years. They are very happy and playful dogs that love attention. However, they still need to work on their potty training. They enjoy walking, although they haven't done much of it in recent years. They need a garden and human company. It would be nice if Nelson and Cooper could stay together, but they can also be adopted separately if there is another dog in the family that they click with. They have always lived in a group of eight dogs and are therefore very social. If you're interested, please send an email and include information about your living situation, expectations, and don't forget to include your phone number. Only emails with the necessary information will be considered.

Cooper is een gecastreerd reutje, geboren in juni 2018. Ras: langharige Chihuahua. Hij kwam samen toe met Nelson en Marie. Nelson & Cooper zijn twee broertjes. Ze werden afgestaan wegens echtscheiding en teveel dieren om ervoor te kunnen zorgen. Beiden lieten we castreren, chippen, vaccineren en alle tanden werden verwijderd. Ze hadden al die jaren weinig of geen verzorging gekregen. Het zijn erg vrolijke en speelse hondjes die graag veel aandacht krijgen. Wel moet er nog gewerkt worden aan de zindelijkheid. Ze houden van wandelen niettegenstaande ze dat de laatste jaren ook niet veel meer gedaan hebben. Ze hebben een tuin nodig en hebben gezelschap van mensen nodig. Het zou mooi zijn als Nelson en Cooper samen kunnen blijven, maar ze kunnen eventueel ook apart op voorwaarde dat er een andere hond in het gezin is waarmee het klikt. Ze hebben altijd in een groep van acht honden geleefd en zijn dus heel sociaal. Bij interesse stuur aub een mail aan en vermeld zeker informatie over jouw woon- en leefsituatie, verwachtingen en vergeet niet om je telefoonnummer te vermelden. Enkel mails met de nodige informatie kunnen we ter harte nemen.

About Cooper

What life with Cooper looks like

Cooper is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Het Dierenthuisje VZW in Geel.

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.
