Ludo

English Bulldog · Male · Senior · 9 years

Because of a seizure case, I ended up at the shelter. Thankfully, that's behind me now, and I'm ready to conquer the world... or at least your heart! ❤️ I'm a real little rooster-in-front type. When we go for walks, I really love to set off first. The result? Sometimes I pull a little on the leash. Well, a leader doesn't like to wait, right? 😅 Maybe I'm a year older by now, but you really won't notice a thing! I'm still bursting with energy, joie de vivre and eagerness to share fun adventures together. Age is just a number to me. 😉🐾 In the meantime, I've had an operation so I can breathe better. That makes life a lot more pleasant, and I can now enjoy my walks and adventures even more. 🌞 On the outside I may try to be a tough macho, but believe me... on the inside I'm just a big marshmallow. 🥹 Give me some attention, a cuddle and a warm basket, and you'll have a friend for life. Other dogs and cats are not a match for Ludo!

Door een inbeslagname ben ik in het asiel terechtgekomen. Dat ligt gelukkig achter mij en nu ben ik klaar om de wereld te veroveren... of toch op zijn minst jouw hart! ❤️ Ik ben een echte haantje-de-voorste. Als we gaan wandelen, wil ik héél graag als eerste vertrekken. Gevolg? Ik trek soms nog wat aan de lijn. Ach ja, een leider wacht nu eenmaal niet graag. 😅 Misschien ben ik al een jaartje ouder, maar daar merk je echt niets van! Ik zit nog boordevol energie, levenslust en goesting om samen leuke avonturen te beleven. Leeftijd is voor mij gewoon een getalletje. 😉🐾 Ondertussen heb ik een operatie gekregen zodat ik beter kan ademen. Dat maakt het leven een stuk aangenamer en ik kan nu nog meer genieten van mijn wandelingen en avonturen. 🌞 Aan de buitenkant probeer ik misschien een stoere macho te zijn, maar geloof me... vanbinnen ben ik gewoon een grote zachtgekookte marshmallow. 🥹 Geef mij wat aandacht, een knuffel en een warme mand, en je hebt een vriend voor het leven. Andere honden en katten zijn geen match voor Ludo!

About Ludo

What life with Ludo looks like

Ludo is a senior english bulldog dog waiting at Dierenasiel Ninove in Ninove.

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). Shelters often include microchipping, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract, but confirm with the shelter what is covered. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ludo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ludo?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Dierenasiel Ninove handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ludo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ludo if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Dierenasiel Ninove whether they will for Ludo, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ludo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Ludo. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Dierenasiel Ninove, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ludo isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Dierenasiel Ninove about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ludo 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.
