Kamiel

Male · Senior · 8 years

Ras: Vizla Geboortedatum: 04/02/2018 Geslacht: reu Steriel: ja Zindelijk: ja Kan alleen blijven: ja Kan mee in de auto: ja Andere honden: ja Katten: soms wel soms niet Kinderen: neen, zie info Hoi iedereen, Maak kennis met Kamiel. Kamiel is erg gehecht aan zijn gezin. Hij heeft het daarom moeilijk wanneer er iets in zijn vertrouwde patroon verandert. In het verleden heeft een dergelijke ‘omwenteling’ ervoor gezorgd dat Kamiel een klein trauma heeft opgedaan. Hij is toen uit het niets angstig en onzeker geworden, ging plots obsessief gedrag vertonen en is een paar keer uitgevallen doordat hij zelf van iets geschrokken was. Kamiel is toen door een erg onrustige periode gegaan waar hij met behulp van zijn gezin gelukkig bovenop is gekomen. Er is heel wat hulp en begeleiding bij komen kijken en Kamiel is nu terug bijna zo goed als de oude. Er zijn nog steeds aandachtspunten. We willen het voor Kamiel echt rustig houden dus we herplaatsen hem niet bij kinderen. Waar deze kanjer wel naar op zoek is: een rustige thuis waar een (voorspelbare) structuur de dag bepaalt een warm nest, dichtbij zijn gezin voldoende speelruimte in een tuin en af en toe een wandeling ( de meeste Vizla’s hebben hun dagelijks ‘sprintje ‘ nodig maar kunnen dan de rest van de dag gerust bankhangen) een gezin dat respect heeft voor de weg die Kamiel al heeft afgelegd en hem alles kan geven om verder open te bloeien

About Kamiel

What life with Kamiel looks like

Kamiel is a senior dog waiting at vzw Helping Dogs in Belgium.

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 Kamiel, answered.

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