NEMO

Male · Adult · 4 years

Nemo, a sensitive little heart, is looking for his ideal home. Nemo is an adorable Coton de Tulear with a strong personality. Behind his independent side is a loving dog who enjoys cuddles... as long as he is given time to come to you and build a relationship of trust at his own pace. Nemo's daily life Nemo has already lived in an apartment and adapts very well to it. He is clean, calm during car rides and has even traveled by plane. He also tolerates solitude for a few hours (3 to 4 hours), which makes him a relatively autonomous companion. His qualities Affectionate when he feels confident Clean Can live in an apartment Tolerates a few hours of solitude Calm in transport Attach and close to his references Points to note Nemo is a sensitive dog that can be protective and possessive of the people he is attached to. He does not get along with children: their presence makes him uncomfortable and he may growl or try to bite when they approach. Similarly, encounters with other dogs are complicated, as fear pushes him to adopt defensive behaviors. His relationship with cats is not known at this time. The ideal home for Nemo Nemo is looking for a calm, patient and respectful family of his space. An adoption in a home without children will be essential to his well-being and safety. He could thrive with one or two people who are used to dogs and understand that a relationship of trust is built gradually. With understanding, gentleness and a stable environment, Nemo will reveal all his tenderness and become a faithful and affectionate companion. Do you think you can offer Nemo the home he dreams of?

We will be happy to provide you with more information and help you determine if this little boy is the companion that suits you. Nemo is eagerly waiting for his second chance!

About NEMO

What life with NEMO looks like

NEMO is a adult dog waiting at Help Animals in Brussels.

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 NEMO, answered.

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