Adopt Inzo

Chihuahua · Male · Senior · 13 years

The owners of Inzo have gone to a retirement home, so they looked for a solution for their little chihuahua. Inzo is a very timid chihuahua; he growls when someone approaches him, but he still allows himself to be gently petted afterward. He is a curious and energetic little dog. He was very upset when he went from being the only dog, spoiled by his owners, to being a member of a large family at "Les Petits Vieux." Fortunately, he now feels very well at the manor among his other animals of the same species, whom he really enjoys.

Les maîtres d’Inzo sont partis en maison de retraite, ils ont donc cherché une solution pour leur petit chihuahua. Inzo est un chihuahua très craintif, il grogne d’abord lorsqu’on l’approche, mais se laisse quand même caresser tout doucement ensuite. C’est un petit chien curieux et dynamique. Il a été très perturbé de passer de chien unique, gâté par ses maîtres, à membre d'une famille nombreuse chez « Les Petits Vieux ». Heureusement, il se sent maintenant très bien à la seigneurie auprès de ses congénères qu’il apprécie beaucoup.

About Inzo

What life with Inzo looks like

Inzo is a small senior chihuahua dog waiting at Les Petits Vieux ASBL in Chièvres.

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 Inzo, answered.

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