Adopt MANU

Cane Corso · Male

MANU is a loving and affectionate dog who needs some space. He was found by the police, tied to a pole, simply left behind. Manu is a big dog, which means he has a lot of strength and sometimes pulls hard on the leash without realizing it. But once he finds an owner who spends time with him and walks a lot with Manu, he will quickly understand what it means to "walk together." He knows the basic commands, which is no problem. This also means that it will be easier to teach him something during the walk. He is a big "loebas" who looks at the cat from the tree when meeting strangers. But once you have gained his trust, he is a treasure. We do not place him with small children and also not with other dogs. He would have lived with cats. But we are convinced that he will adapt more quickly to a new home without cats, dogs, or children. With an owner who is used to dealing with dogs.

MANU is een lieve aanhankelijke hond die wel wat ruimte nodig heeft. Hij is gevonden door de politie, vastgebonden aan een paal, gewoon achtergelaten dus. Manu is een grote hond dat wil zeggen dat hij veel kracht heeft en met momenten hard kan trekken aan de leiband zonder dat hij het zelf door heeft. Maar als hij eenmaal een baasje gevonden heeft die tijd met hem doorbrengt en veel samen met Manu gaat wandelen dan gaat hij zeer snel doorhebben wat het wil zeggen om “samen" te wandelen. Hij kent de basiscommando's, dat is geen enkel probleem. Dat wil dan ook zeggen dat het op de wandeling gemakkelijker wordt om hem iets aan te leren. Het is een grote “loebas" die bij vreemde mensen wel even de kat uit de boom kijkt. Maar eenmaal je zijn vertrouwen hebt is het een schat. We plaatsen hem niet bij kleine kinderen en ook niet bij andere honden. Hij zou wel samengeleefd hebben met katten. Maar we zijn ervan overtuigd dat hij zich sneller zal aanpassen aan een nieuwe thuis zonder katten, honden, kinderen. Met een baasje dat gewend is om met honden om te gaan.

About MANU

What life with MANU looks like

MANU is a small adult cane corso dog waiting at Dierenwereldkruis VZW in Bornem.

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 MANU, answered.

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