Lizzy

Keeshond · Female · Young · 2 years

Ras: Keeshond Geboortedatum: 28/07/2023 Geslacht: teef Steriel: ja Zindelijk: ja Kan alleen blijven: neen! Kan mee in de auto: ja Andere honden: zier info Katten: ja Kinderen: ? Hoi, Maak kennis met Lizzy. Dit keesje is het liefst altijd in je buurt. Ze heeft een onzeker karakter en zoekt daarom constant steun bij haar baasje. Als dat baasje er ook maar even niet is, wordt Lizzy erg nerveus en angstig…en dan gaat ze blaffen. Ze gaat ook blaffen wanneer er bezoek over de vloer komt, ze weet dan met zichzelf geen blijf. Omdat ze steeds onder de rokken van haar tweevoeter gaat schuilen, is Lizzy niet meteen een kei in sociaal contact met andere honden. Momenteel woont ze samen met Stoney maar er is geen echte klik tussen die twee. Bovendien maken ze elkaar onrustig want géén van beide kan goed alleen blijven. Lizzy is een hondje dat duidelijke instructies uitdeelt. Zo mag je bijvoorbeeld niet zomaar haar ‘broekje’ borstelen. Ze is in het verleden geopereerd aan haar pootje, misschien is dit nog een reflex van toen ze pijn had. In elk geval moet je het borstelen heel voorzichtig en zacht aanpakken bij Lizzy. We denken dat Lizzy best naar een plek verhuist waar ze het rijk voor zich heeft. Het is niet dat ze niet kan met andere honden maar ze zou de hond des huizes misschien wel nerveus maken, wat niet fair is tegenover die hond. Ben je op zoek naar een onafscheidelijk (letterlijk) guitig hondje met pit? Ben je je bewust dat je leven gaat veranderen en dat je je gaat moeten aanpassen? Je snapt dat het tijd gaat kosten om samen met ons op die verlatingsangst te werken zonder garantie dat het ook echt weg gaat? Je hebt het ervoor over en bent sowieso iedere dag thuis? Waar wacht je nog op?

About Lizzy

What life with Lizzy looks like

Lizzy is a young adult keeshond dog waiting at vzw Helping Dogs in Belgium.

An young 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 Lizzy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lizzy?
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 Lizzy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lizzy 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 Lizzy 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 Lizzy 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 Lizzy 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.
