Mana

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Mana is a sweet and social Shiba Inu female who was a former breeding dog. She was temporarily placed somewhere but never picked up, which is why she ended up at our shelter. Mana is a calm dog but still has active moments. She has lived with older children and can adapt to a new family with kids over 10 years old. She also lived with cats and can be placed with them. She can be left alone at home and has a litter box for potty training. Mana is looking for a quiet home. She can be introduced to other dogs and cats. She has arthritis in her right hind leg and receives medication when she experiences pain.

About Mana

What life with Mana looks like

Mana is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst in Belgium.

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). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mana?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mana if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mana 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 Mana 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 Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mana 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.
