Nala

Female · Senior · 9 years

Nala est de retour au refuge après avoir partagé une partie de sa vie au sein d’une famille. Ses adoptants rencontraient de grandes difficultés à comprendre son fonctionnement et à répondre à ses besoins émotionnels. Face à une situation devenue trop complexe à gérer, ils ont pris la décision de nous la confier afin qu’elle puisse trouver un foyer davantage adapté à ses besoins. Nala est une chienne particulièrement sensible, qui a besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance. Une fois rassurée et en sécurité auprès de son humain de référence, elle se montre très proche, affectueuse et apprécie énormément les moments de tendresse. Véritable gourmande, quelques friandises sont d’ailleurs souvent le meilleur moyen d’entrer en contact avec elle et de créer une relation positive. Concernant son comportement, Nala manque aujourd’hui de repères et de socialisation. N’ayant jamais réellement découvert le monde extérieur, elle peut rapidement se sentir dépassée lorsqu’elle est confrontée à des situations nouvelles. Son stress et sa peur peuvent alors entraîner des réactions de redirection de morsure. Elle a d’ailleurs déjà mordu, avec percement, ce qui demande une réelle compréhension de son fonctionnement ainsi qu’une gestion adaptée de ses émotions. Les promenades constituent aujourd’hui un véritable apprentissage pour elle. Comme elle n’a jamais eu l’occasion d’en profiter auparavant, elle se montre réactive face à de nombreux éléments de son environnement, tels que les voitures, les vélos ou encore les autres chiens. L’ensemble de ses apprentissages, ainsi que ses codes sociaux, devront être repris progressivement, dans un cadre sécurisant et avec beaucoup de patience. Au vu de son profil, Nala ne pourra pas être placée dans un foyer comprenant des chats. Par mesure de sécurité, nous ne prendrons également pas le risque de la placer avec des enfants. Nous recherchons pour elle des adoptants expérimentés, capables de comprendre son fonctionnement, de respecter son rythme et de lui offrir un environnement stable et prévisible dans lequel elle pourra progressivement reprendre confiance.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a senior 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

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 Nala, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nala?
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 Nala on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nala 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nala 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 Nala 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 Nala 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.
