Florreke

Shih Tzu · Male

Florreke is cheerful, enthusiastic, and very sweet. At nearly 13 years old, he doesn't have the heart of a top athlete. A tumor on his liver and a cyst on a kidney worsen his overall condition. However, he too has the right to a warm home for an indefinite period. Without many stimuli and especially with a lot of human presence. Because Mister Flor demands all attention and especially loves "table food". Some short, daily walks are absolutely possible and are also "his thing". This fluffy guy hopes to be in the arms of a master very soon.

NL·Show original

Florreke is vrolijk, enthousiast en héél lief. Op zijn bijna 13-jarige leeftijd heeft hij niet het hart van een topatleet. Een tumor op de lever en een cyste op een nier verergeren zijn algemene conditie. Nochtans heeft, ook hij, het recht om voor onbepaalde tijd een warme thuis te krijgen. Zonder veel prikkels en vooral met veel menselijke aanwezigheid. Want Mister Flor eist alle aandacht op en houdt vooral van "tafeleten". Enkele korte, dagelijkse wandelingen zijn absoluut mogelijk en zijn bovendien "zijn ding". Dit wollig ventje hoopt zeer snel in de armen van een baasje te liggen genieten.

About Florreke

What life with Florreke looks like

Florreke is a adult shih tzu dog waiting at Dierenasiel Schoten in Schoten.

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 Florreke, answered.

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