Lima

Shih Tzu · Female · Adult · 7 years

Lima est une adorable petite Shih Tzu de 7 ans, arrivée au refuge suite aux graves problèmes de santé de sa propriétaire, qui n’était malheureusement plus en mesure de s’occuper d’elle comme elle l’aurait souhaité. Derrière son adorable petite mine se cache une chienne très gentille et attachante. Lima est toutefois une petite chienne particulièrement peureuse et craintive. Elle a besoin de temps pour prendre ses marques et comprendre qu’elle peut faire confiance aux personnes qui l’entourent. Une fois qu’elle se sent en sécurité, elle révèle une toute autre facette de sa personnalité : elle devient très câline et même jouette, proche de l’humain et même véritablement « pot de colle ». Elle apprécie alors énormément la présence et les attentions de ses personnes de confiance. Lima est à l’aise avec les enfants et pourra donc envisager une vie de famille, à condition que chacun respecte son caractère sensible et lui laisse le temps nécessaire pour s’adapter. Concernant ses ententes, Lima vivait comme seule chienne au sein de son ancien foyer. Nous ne connaissons donc pas encore ses affinités avec ses congénères, mais des rencontres pourront être organisées au refuge afin d’évaluer son comportement et de voir avec quels profils elle pourrait éventuellement s’entendre. Ses ententes avec les chats restent également inconnues à ce jour. Lima apprécie les promenades, mais il est préférable que celles-ci se fassent dans un environnement calme. La ville et les endroits très fréquentés ou bruyants sont pour elle des sources importantes de stress.

About Lima

What life with Lima looks like

Lima is a adult shih tzu dog waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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 Lima, answered.

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