How do I contact the shelter about Maïa?

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 Maïa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Maïa 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 Maïa 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 Maïa 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 Maïa 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.

Maïa

Border Collie · Female · Senior · 13 years

Maïa is a sweet, gentle, and easy-going dog who has been at the shelter due to her owner's health issues. She is a senior dog who has been accustomed to living with a family and is now looking for a calm, loving environment to enjoy her retirement. Maïa is friendly with other dogs and has lived with cats, including kittens, without any problems. She is also comfortable around children and would thrive in a home that respects her pace. She enjoys walks, although they have been less frequent in recent years due to her owner's health.

Les chiens signalés en « sauvetage » ont un besoin encore plus urgent de trouver une famille. Cela peut être lié à leur âge, une pathologie particulière ou un mal-être au refuge. Maïa est une adorable chienne, arrivée au refuge suite aux importants soucis de santé de sa propriétaire, qui ne pouvait malheureusement plus s’occuper d’elle comme elle l’aurait souhaité. Derrière son petit air de mamie se cache une chienne douce, attachante et particulièrement facile à vivre. Habituée à partager son quotidien avec une famille, Maïa apprécie avant tout la présence de ses humains et la tranquillité d’un foyer. Après toutes ces années passées auprès de la même personne, elle recherche aujourd’hui un environnement calme, rempli de bienveillance et d’affection pour profiter sereinement de sa retraite. Maïa est sociable avec les autres chiens, ayant toujours vécu à leurs côtés. Elle cohabitait également avec des chats, y compris des chatons, sans difficulté. Habituée à la vie de famille, elle connaît aussi les enfants et pourra parfaitement rejoindre un foyer respectueux de son rythme. Elle apprécie beaucoup les promenades. Malheureusement, celles-ci s’étaient fortement espacées ces cinq dernières années en raison de l’état de santé de sa propriétaire. Elle prendra donc certainement beaucoup de plaisir à retrouver de petites balades régulières, adaptées à son âge et à sa condition physique.

About Maïa

What life with Maïa looks like

Maïa is a senior border collie dog waiting at Perwez) in Sans Collier.

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
