Kelly

Female

Australische Herder (teef) Kelly leefde voorheen in een broodfokkerij en heeft daardoor nog heel wat angst voor mensen en nieuwe situaties. Ze heeft tijd nodig om vertrouwen op te bouwen en moet alles op haar eigen tempo kunnen ontdekken. Wanneer ze zich veilig voelt en het gezelschap heeft van een andere hond, zien we haar steeds meer openbloeien. Een warme en rustige thuis met een goed afgesloten tuin en mensen die Kelly alle tijd en geduld willen geven die ze nodig heeft. Haar niet forceren, haar grenzen respecteren en haar stap voor stap laten ontdekken dat het leven ook mooi kan zijn, is voor haar ontzettend belangrijk. Voor Kelly zoeken we bij voorkeur een thuis met een stabiel hondenvriendje van ongeveer haar eigen grootte. In het gezelschap van een andere hond voelt ze zich duidelijk zekerder en zien we haar helemaal opleven. Met veel geduld, rust en liefde geloven we dat deze knappe dame steeds verder zal openbloeien.

About Kelly

What life with Kelly looks like

Kelly is a adult dog waiting at VZW The Lucky Stars in Belgium.

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 Kelly, answered.

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